He's lucky he got one of the younger ones. The older, bigger ones? They're destroying cars with the force of their attacks.
... they're not very bright.
Fortunately, the NYPD members have ranged weapons, as do the Ghostbusters. Winston and Egon and Peter are putting their proton packs to excellent use; the animals seem deathly afraid of the streams and are crashing into one another in their efforts to get away. It's not helping the aurochs line any, either. Those are letting out bellowing noises that relate to 'moo' in the way that a real pig's "GHWRAAAAARRNK" noise relates to "oink" and trying not to break their legs as they turn to flee.
In all of this there is a small problem. When the critter storm was spotted coming, they evacuated everyone from the Piers, including the kids of the high school alumni who were conducting their reunion on a boat out in the harbor. They thought they got everybody. They were wrong; one of the kids, a four-year-old Asian-looking girl, managed to hide in the complex so as to play in the ball pit alone. She's outside now- she was wandering along by the river's edge, but turned in the direction of all the chaos and noise.
The titanothere at the furthest edge of the line veers out of the way of a terrified aurochs. This draws off part of the line- well, by 'part' we mean 'a lot'- and the girl freezes in her tracks. When you are four, anything looks big.
Anything the size of THESE things looks even bigger.
Very shortly there is going to be a small child clinging for her life to the nearest lamppost and screaming at the top of her lungs.
