Just after 10:30 a.m., York Regional Police said Keele Street and Davis Drive in King, Ont., had been closed after “multiple” bison escaped.

The bison were headed toward the north side of Keele Street.
A little over an hour later, police said the road had reopened and most of the bison had been recaptured. One was still outstanding, as officers warned people not to approach it.
