"They tried to lure the cow back by putting out hay on the ground, but failed. The cow ran into the forest and now it's somewhere out there," police spokesperson Matilda Isaksson told newspaper Göteborgs-Posten.

In 2016, another fugitive cow was shot dead in the city of Malmö in southern Sweden after running off from a local agricultural fair and wreaking havoc on the near-by area. The cow's aggressive behavior forced local police to send out several patrols tasked with capturing the invader. Before succumbing to police pistols, the beast caused material destruction, butting and kicking cars and attacking a dog, the Swedish tabloid newspaper Expressen reported.
