A “DISORDERLY” goat has been corralled in New Jersey, and authorities are now trying to determine who owns the wayward animal.

Two Paramus police officers nabbed the small white goat shortly after 5pm on Saturday (8am Sunday AEST). The department said on its Facebook page they were responding to “calls of a disorderly goat headbutting a door.”

Officers captured the goat as it was running on the road.

The goat apparently was not injured in the incident. It was being cared for at a local animal facility.

Authorities suspect that the animal likely escaped from a local residence.
