An “aggressive cow” was reported on the campus of a Pennsylvania college this week, alarming students, staff and locals as it trotted about town.
Kutztown University students received a warning on Sunday that the dangerous bovine was running loose through the area and were instructed to steer clear of the animal.

The notice, titled “Avoid North Campus: Aggressive Cow – DO NOT APPROACH” was sent Sunday after the police were notified of the animal around 7:15 p.m.
