Loose Horse Leads New Jersey Police on Neighborhood Chase Before Safe Capture

Police posted video of the response, using 'Seabiscuit' as a playful alias for the horse.

Overview

  • Officers were dispatched just before 8 a.m. Friday to the Hunter Woods area of Monroe Township in Gloucester County after reports of a loose horse.
  • An officer gave brief chase on foot as the animal trotted through neighborhood streets before additional units helped corral it.
  • Police identified the officer as Nathan O’Lano and joked that he “cannot outrun a horse,” according to their social media post.

  • Monroe Township Police said such calls are not uncommon and later clarified that the name “Seabiscuit” was used only as a lighthearted alias.
