An oversized hen was subdued after wreaking havoc on Broadway Wednesday afternoon. The unruly beast disturbed street vendors, entered several establishments, and frightened three children before animal control officers could arrive at the scene. No injuries or property damage have been reported at the time of publication.

“I was getting my curls at Enrique’s Salon when this big-ass feathered thing came in and started making all kinds of weird sounds,” said Harmony Torres, a neighborhood resident. “Some people thought it was kinda cute, but if that thing came near my hair I woulda punched it in the eye. I was ready to smack the shit out of it.”

The beast was first spotted on Arion Place around 3 p.m., clucking incoherently at the sky before making its way to a Popeyes on Myrtle Avenue. Though the hen was aggressive and delusional, Carl Whitcomb, an amateur Roman wrestler, managed to restrain the creature before it could cause serious problems.

“It was harassing some girls so I decided to take action before anyone got hurt,” Whitcomb said. “Now people are calling me a hero. I was just going to the corner store for some toilet paper — unusual things are always happening in this neighborhood.”
