A woman arrested for jumping a barrier at the Bronx Zoo in 2019 is being sought again after police say she pulled a similar stunt.

Myah Autry was arrested for taunting lions at the enclosure back in 2019.

Sources tell CBS2 a woman matching her description crossed a barrier near the lion exhibit Thursday afternoon and tossed roses and cash at the lions. By the time police responded, the suspect took off. She’s now wanted for questioning.
