An officer eventually grabbed what appeared to be a furry tail and furiously pulled before the wild animal shockingly emerged and landed on the market floor.

Customers gasped as officers made several attempts to yank the coyote out of the shelf, finally pulling the animal out by its tail.

A surprise shopper caused a stir at a Chicago supermarket on Monday morning-a coyote decided to check out the produce aisle before being escorted out. Customers at an Aldi were in for a shock when officers pulled a coyote out of the refrigerated section-a howlingly harrowing moment captured on video.

When video footage showing an officer working to get an animal out of a shelving unit at an Aldi store in Chicago's Humboldt Park began, no one could have predicted what would eventually come out.

Chicago police said officers responded to the Aldi store in the 800 block of North Kedzie Avenue at 9:42 a.m. to a call about an animal inside the business.
