Tiger escapes from New York circus
The animal, named Apollo, was safely recaptured on Saturday in the Queens section of the city, but not before the sight of him on a main traffic route caused a multi-car accident. Four adults and one child suffered minor injuries.
When the tiger lay down on a nearby street, six police officers with guns drawn created a perimeter around it, Capt. John Durkin said. The tiger’s trainer arrived and coaxed it back into his cage.
