A pair of goats went on the lam Monday, but like most New Yorkers they were done in by the city transit system.
No one noticed the pair until they wandered onto the N train tracks on Brooklyn Monday morning — and cops had to use tranquilizer darts to calm those crazy kids down.
Officers spent two hours trying to corral the billies between the Fort Hamilton Parkway and New Utrecht stops in Borough Park after someone bleated to 911 that the animals were on the loose around 10:30 a.m, police said.
“A new one for us (we think): Two goats are roaming along the N line tracks in Brooklyn,” the MTA tweeted along with a photo of the white and brown animals on the track.
“Two very baaaaad boys.”
Eventually the NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit had to step in with sedatives to knock the four-legged scoundrels out.
“Sometimes we see cats and dogs but never goats. That’s a new one,” Capt. Jonathan Bobin, commanding officer of Transit District 34, told reporters after the chase.
“They were nervous and kept running from our personnel but we got them and removed them from the tracks safely.”
The four-legged friends — and those chasing them — were never in danger of frying because workers cut the power to the tracks, he added.
The zonked-out animals snored sweetly as police bound their legs with ropes and loaded them in a van, before handing them over to the city’s Animal Care and Control.
It’s still unclear where the goats came from — but police noted there are many meat markets in the area.
“They were trying to go to the beach,” one officer at the scene quipped.
If they are indeed slaughterhouse fugitives, the dash for freedom paid off — they’re being sent to retire in the comfort of Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY.
Bobin said Coney Island-bound N trains were delayed for two hours during the chase, but the MTA said trains were only rerouted for 30 minutes.
Either way, the agency couldn’t resist one last, tenuous goat pun.
“The goats have been removed from the tracks by NYPD, and service is resuming. We thank ewe for your patience,” it tweeetd at 1:10 p.m.
This is the second time in a week that goats have gotten loose in the borough.
More than 20 goats escaped from a truck headed to a Bushwick slaughterhouse Tuesday when the driver pulled over for a nap. A neighbor eventually helped get the herd back into the truck.
