CHELSEA — Another coyote has been spotted prowling the streets of Manhattan, this time in Chelsea.

After recent sightings at Columbia University and Central Park, a coyote found its way to the banks of the Hudson River but was able to elude police and animal officials trying to trap it on Pier 64 off West 24th Street around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, the New York Post reported.

The coyote has not been seen since.
