Security guard assists NYPD in corralling loose goat

A goat that fled a slaughterhouse for the streets of Bedford Stuyvesant is going to find peace and love on a farm in Woodstock.

Terrified Brooklynites called cops to corral the little beast as it ran along Fulton Street around 1 a.m., yesterday.

Members of the NYPD’s elite Emergency Services Unit tried to corral the animal, which was tagged for slaughter, but it eluded cops by galloping through a parking lot near Interfaith Medical Center.

It took a security guard, who herded goats in Africa before he moved to New York, to show the city slickers how it’s done.

He used a lasso, then tied the goat’s four legs together, so it could be picked up and placed into a marked NYPD cruiser.

The bearded bandit wasn’t booked, however. He was sent to Animal Care and Control, which found a home for him in Woodstock.
