Woman Is NYC Bar Hero After Calmly Grabbing, Removing Opossum That Wandered Inside

An opossum walks into a Brooklyn bar — it sounds like the set up to a joke, but it's actually the set up to an"only in New York" story.

It's the story that made Sara Fulton a local celebrity for what she did at Temkin's Bar in Greenpoint Thursday night. That's where she's known as a hero for saving all the terrified bargoers from a terrifying...opossum. "I was outside hanging out with my friend outside the bar, the door was open and then all of a sudden we see this critter run in and we looked at each other, and we just were like, 'Was that a dog? Is that a rat?'" said Fulton."We both looked at each other and were like, 'That was too big to be a rat! It has to be an opossum.'"

Video shows Fulton grabbing the opossum by the scruff, then she walks out the bar and sent the mischievous marsupial on his way. No muss no fuss.

A woman who is from Alaska, so a possum didn't faze her.

Opossum are gentle, kind animals, immune to rabies and they eat ticks. Do not harm them.

I usedto feed table scraps to mine in return it ate all the bugs in my yard for free!👏

1st thought she had a hand puppet she was using to rob the place with and it was a 'Florida Woman' story.

Opossums are very gentle.

I certainly hope that poor possum was able to relax after all that drama
