Water buffalo rounded up after escaping from film set and rampaging down busy street

Two water buffalo ran loose on a busy street in Newtown in inner west Sydney, Australia on Tuesday. The animals had escaped from a film set.

The two beasts roamed for more than two kilometers along some of city's busiest roads before being rounded up by firefighters and animal wranglers.

 

The buffalo escaped just after 10am, leaving a red-faced film crew chasing after them in a jeep.

And the escapees did not go down lightly as fire crews needed ladders and a truck to trap them in the front yard of a home.
