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.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
