The NYPD is seeking the public’s assistance locating the woman seen in the attached photo who is sought for trespassing in the Bronx Zoo, located in the 52nd precinct.
On Thursday, Nov. 11, at approximately 3.40 p.m., the woman entered the fenced lion exhibit inside the Zoo, located at 2300 Southern Boulevard. She then exited the exhibit and fled to parts unknown. She is identified as Mayh Autry, 32.

In a statement at that time, Bronx Zoo officials reportedly said, “This action was a serious violation and unlawful trespass that could have resulted in serious injury or death. Barriers and rules are in place to keep both visitors, staff, and animals safe. We have a zero tolerance policy on trespass and violation of barriers.”
