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

Imagine shopping for groceries and stumbling upon a wild coyote in the frozen food aisle. That's exactly what happened in a Chicago Aldi store today.

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.

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.
