Animal control officers captured a coyote spotted growling at passersby outside a Rogers Park apartment building Wednesday afternoon.

Chicago police said officers responded to reports of a vicious animal on the 6400 block of North Newgard Avenue around 12:10 p.m., and notified Chicago Animal Care and Control.

Chicago police officers were seen surrounding the animal with guns drawn in the 6400-block of N. Newgard Wednesday.

Chicago Animal Care and Control safely got the coyote into a van. But before that, it was an unsuspecting pedestrian who came across it first.

“I was just walking by in the neighborhood and I noticed that dog over there staring something down,” witness Miguel Castellanos said. “I noticed something growling at me.”

The coyote was taken to Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation. It’s expected to be released into a forest soon.

Two animal control officers were able to snare the coyote with animal catch poles.

The coyote likely will be handed over to Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation, a non-profit in west suburban Barrington, which partners with Animal Care and Control to provide care and treatment for wild animals captured in the city before releasing them back into the wild.
