Buffaloes run amok

TWO water buffaloes startled residents of an inner-Sydney suburb on Tuesday morning, as they ran 2 kilometers down a city street past disbelieving pedestrians, while car drivers scurried to get out of the way.

Witnesses told local media the buffaloes looked agitated, having escaped from a city park where a commercial was being filmed.

“I was just waiting for the bus and instead of a bus, two random buffalo ran past,” said Abril Felman, a student at the nearby University of Sydney.

Firefighters rounded up the animals. They used ladders and firefighting gear to corral the animals into a makeshift pen, until handlers from the film set took them away.

“We were all standing back, we were all going ‘That’s really random’,” Felman said.

“It’s a very diverse community that lives there,” she added.
