Wild chase after cow takes cruise through Queens

Mitropoulous called 911 and got an operator who thought he was a prankster. "She asked me what color the cow was and I said, 'Are you joking? It's a cow in New York City.'"

When it was finally determined there really was a four-legged fugitive - from somewhere - on the loose, cops began tracking Mitropoulous with a Global Positioning System device as he followed the cow.

"We must have gone about 2 miles," Mitropoulous said, "and it was running at a good pace for a while. I had to do 20 to keep up with it. I was driving right alongside. If I had a rope I would have grabbed him."

The chase ended when the cow turned into a yard next to a three-story building at 85-22 144thSt., where it was trapped by more than a dozen radio cars and Fire Department vehicles.
