NEW YORK (AP) - New York City police are searching after receiving reports of a coyote on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Police say it was spotted around 5 a.m. Wednesday at Riverside Park along the Hudson River, between 96th and 79th streets.

Last week, police captured a coyote in the courtyard of a church in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. They used a dart gun to shoot the animal with a sedative. It was removed to an animal care facility.
