Authorities in North Attleborough are urging residents to keep on the lookout after several bulls broke free from a rodeo on Sunday.

Eight bulls escaped a rodeo at the Emerald Square Mall, the North Attleborough Fire Department said in a social media post. 

Video from the rodeo posted by Boston 25 News shows the bulls running through a parking lot, then jumping over a fence and running through a stretch of empty parking lots along Route 1. In the video, one person shouts “Everybody at the entrance, move,” while bystanders gasp and shout as the bulls run by. 

The bulls appear to have escaped from Festival Rodeo, an event at the Emerald Square Mall. A spokesperson for Festival Rodeo could not be reached. 

As of 4:10 p.m., the North Attleborough Fire Department said one bull was still on the lam. First responders corralled the seven other bulls, a social media post from the department said. The fire department said anyone who encounters a loose bull should call 911 immediately.
