CHENNAI:An 80-year-old man was injured in Ambattur on Saturday after a stray cow attacked him. The cattle attacked him while he was walking on the road. The injured man was identified as Munusamy.
In the CCTV footage, it was seen that a woman is placing a bowl of water for a cow in Upper Canal Street. After drinking, the cow turned aggressive and attacked Munusamy.
Munusamy was violently tossed into the air and suffered head injuries. Bystanders rushed him to a private hospital, where he received more than 10 stitches. His condition is reportedly to be stable. Police said that no case has been registered yet, but police are trying to trace the cow’s owner.
It may be recalled that in March, a woman in Korattur was attacked as she was walking on the road. In January, a 52-year-old woman in Kalattipettai near Kundrathur died after falling off a two-wheeler when her son braked suddenly to avoid a stray cow.
