A bout of freedom was short lived for a Queens bovine.

A tow truck driver caught video of the cow making a mad dash from a slaughterhouse on his cell phone.

The cow was seen running down Tuckerton Avenue Thursday before making a left onto the aptly named Liberty Avenue in Jamaica.

It eventually made its way to the York College campus, where it was caught.

Activists from Farm Sanctuary had hoped to give the cow a good home, but she had already been slaughtered by the time they made their offer.
