Coyote spotted in Manhattan captured

TRIBECA The animal first eluded police capture Wednesday near the Holland Tunnel. It was spotted Thursday afternoon on the West Side Highway, and police chased it to an open-air garage in Tribeca.

Officers cornered the coyote, sedated it with a dart and then carted it off to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It wasn't immediately clear where it would go next.

Last month, three coyotes were spotted on the campus of Columbia University. Earlier this month, one was seen in Chelsea.
