Escaped Las Vegas rodeo bull causes brief road closure

A rodeo bull briefly escaped its enclosure in Las Vegas.

Police say the getaway happened Sunday around 10:30 a.m. near East Owens Avenue and Betty Lane.

It's not clear how the bull got out. But officers were able to wrangle it until animal control officers arrived.

The bull's owners eventually lassoed the animal and safely put it back in its trailer. No injuries were reported.

The surrounding roads were closed for about two hours.
