A group of six horses lead police on a chase through midtown and north Tulsa

TULSA - It's a wild horse chase for Tulsa police.

A group of six horses manage to escape from their pasture in north Tulsa and traipse all over midtown with police hot on their "tails"

No one knows how the six horses escaped, but they managed to make their way from the 2900 block of North Delaware, crossing I-244 and ending up near 4th and South Delaware before someone spotted them on the loose.

Police then chased the horses through the University of Tulsa's campus, back over I-244 on Harvard, and corralled them into a backyard near Harvard and East Latimer.

Tulsa police officers called the city's animal welfare crew to help and bring two trailers.

The horses continued to prove difficult to catch even once they were in an enclosed backyard. Officers even employed the use of a lasso.

None of the horses were injured and neither were any drivers, a pretty amazing feat according to the experts involved.

"Pretty dangerous when big animals are running loose. Not like a dog, nobody likes to see a dog get hit but it's not gonna hurt a car. A horse can hurt cars, people, property," said Jake Wilson, with Animal Welfare.

The animals are now being "booked" by animal welfare at their facility in Collinsville, their owner will have to pay a fine to "bail" them out.
