Ossining Police Kill Aggressive Coyote

OSSINING, NY — Police killed the aggressive coyote who had been confronting residents on the bluff overlooking the Hudson River south of St. Augustine's.

The deceased animal will be transported to the Westchester County Department of Health for testing.

Police had issued a warning about the wild animal on Monday, after receiving reports from a Mystic Pointe resident and a North Water Street resident of confrontations with a coyote. The coyote did not bite either the dog or the person on North Water Street.

They issued an alert Wednesday about an aggressive coyote, believed to be the same animal.

The coyote confronted another resident Thursday morning, police said.
