“#NYPD cops wrangle skunk hiding out in Tribeca flowers: video<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Hook, line and stinker!<\/p>\n

NYPD cops nabbed a skunk that was trying to hide among the flowers outside a Tribeca bodega on Sunday morning, video shows.<\/p>\n

Tribeca resident Joe Duncan said he was walking his dog around 10:20 a.m. when they both smelled something foul near Morgan\u2019s Market on the corner of Hudson Street and Reade Street.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I turned the corner, police were there and confirmed that it was a skunk hiding out behind the flowers,\u201d Duncan told The Post.<\/p>\n

Duncan whipped out his phone and recorded as one of the officers used a specialized pole to snatch the critter from behind the storefront display.<\/p>\n

Footage showed the office hoist it up and into a dog crate to app<\/a>lause from the several dozen people who had also been lured over by the stench.<\/p>\n

\u201cGot him\u2026 Nice work! Congrats,\u201d Duncan could be heard saying in the video<\/a> as one of the cops flashes a thumbs up.<\/p>\n

He said the cops told him that they\u2019d rescued skunks before in the Big Apple \u2014 but only across the harbor in Staten Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could\u2019ve come over on the Staten Island Ferry,\u201d Duncan said, adding that more people staying inside during the pandemic may have played a role.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other thing is animals could be increasing their range with less people outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police said they brought the creature to an animal shelter in east Harlem, but things didn\u2019t end well for the skunk.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had to put the skunk down,\u201d a police spokesman said, adding that they don\u2019t know why the animal was euthanized.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
