Residents and schoolkids in Mexico City helped squads of police in a long-winded pursuit of a wolf loose in one of the city’s neighborhoods, authorities said.

Citizens and police officers chased the animal on foot and on motorbikes in the north-side neighborhood, before the medium-sized wolf finally was cornered “with the help of neighbors,” the city police department said late Monday.

The Milenio television station interviewed a 15-year-old boy who headed off the wolf with his motorbike. “We came to catch the wolf,” the boy said.

Once cornered, police animal-control officers snared the wolf with a rope and forced the German-shepherd-sized animal into a cage for transport.

It was unclear where the wolf came from. It appeared trotting down sidewalks in a densely built-up neighborhood near a city zoo. But the city’s Environment Department said all of the zoo’s wolves were accounted for.
