The bison were headed toward the north side of Keele Street.
A little over an hour later, police said the road had reopened and most of the bison had been recaptured. One was still outstanding, as officers warned people not to approach it.
By 12:40 p.m., almost two hours after the road closure began, the final animal was found.
“All bison are accounted for and have returned home safe and sound,” police said in a social media post.
