The second video, also seen below, provided by the Yonkers Police Department, shows a black bear in the park.

"Food sources attract bears - the leading cause of bear complaints in New York is bears getting into residential garbage and birdfeeders. Please remove all unnatural external food sources to reduce potential contact," the Yonkers Police Department added.

It's unclear if it's the same bear in both videos.
