Wallaby rescued by cops after man spotted carrying animal on Coney Island Boardwalk

A wallaby was rescued by authorities after officers spotted a young man carrying the animal while walking along the Coney Island Boardwalk Saturday evening, according to police.

The furry creature was found snug in a soft bag at the popular Brooklyn beach destination around 5:10 p.m., cops said.

Officers began searching for the wallaby after a 911 call came in about a man holding one.

The 22-year-old man holding the wallaby was given a ticket for possession of a wild animal, police said.

The wallaby, which is a member of the kangaroo clan, was taken by officers and brought to Animal Care Centers of New York City.

Watch me wallaby's feed, mate, watch me wallaby's feed.
They're a dangerous breed, mate, so watch me wallaby's feed.
