Mountain lion captured in a San Francisco neighborhood

SAN FRANCISCO (NBC, KYMA) - Some San Francisco neighbors had an unexpected brush with wildlife Friday morning.

Footage captured shows officers scurrying a mountain lion that ran out into the street.

The Department of Fish and Wildlife said the big cat was shot with a tranquilizer dart, but briefly made a break for it.

Once the drug kicked in, officers were able to safely examine the animal. They said it's male between two and three-years-old.

They placed a tracking collar on him and will return him to the wild.
