An "aggressive cow" was reported on the campus of a Pennsylvania college this week, alarming students, staff and locals as it trotted about town.

Kutztown University students received a warning on Sunday that the dangerous bovine was running loose through the area and were instructed to steer clear of the animal.

"All should stay away from cow. The animal is not safe to approach," a Kutztown University Police Department alert said Sunday. 

The notice, titled "Avoid North Campus: Aggressive Cow – DO NOT APPROACH" was sent Sunday after the police were notified of the animal around 7:15 p.m.
