PHOENIX — Some Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers had to join in the running of the bulls, Arizona style early Friday morning!

DPS says they were called to the area of I-17 and Jomax Road around 12:45 a.m. for the loose animal on the highway.

See the bulls and hear from DPS in the video above.

When troopers arrived, they found a lone bull that had escaped from the herd and was wandering on the highway.

The troopers turned cowboys got the bull back to the area where it had escaped from so it can continue on with the rest of its friends.

No one was hurt, but the troopers involved have quite a story to tell!
