John Dispenza retraced the pony's journey and showed CBS New York body camera video from the responding officers who were on the midnight shift Friday.'This is not an everyday common experience for the police department,' he said.A sergeant and a police officer first spotted the pony running in the middle of Boston Post Road.

The pony did not belong to the farm, but they took it in and posted photos on social media, asking if anyone recognized it.That post got the attention of the owner. He's an out-of-towner from Florida passing through with the pony.
