This is the best summary I could come up with:

Authorities said an escaped kangaroo was re-captured in Canada on Monday after four days on the loose — but not before the animal punched a police officer in the face.

Officers responded to a report of a kangaroo on the run in Oshawa, a city on the Lake Ontario shoreline east of Toronto, as videos surfaced online that appeared to show the marsupial hopping along public roads in that area.

Having been instructed on the safest ways to capture a kangaroo, the officers approached and grabbed her by her tail, which was effective in the end, the Durham Regional Police said in a news release.

But, before the kangaroo was given a ride back to the zoo for medical exams in one of the police department's K-9 kennels, she did not immediately acquiesce to the officers' attempts to capture her, Staff Sgt.

Boileau said officers initially spotted the missing animal on a rural property in Oshawa at around 3 a.m. Monday and monitored her for almost four hours.

"I think she would have been quite scared," Preyde told CBC Toronto, saying that, because the animal was born in captivity, she "has been used to having humans around taking care of her."
