A three-year-old boy was injured after a stray cow suddenly attacked him outside his home in Rajasthan’s Abu Road, with CCTV cameras capturing the incident. The boy’s mother also sustained injuries while trying to save him from the animal. The incident took place in Shivaji Colony at around 6.30 pm on September 11, according to local reports.

CCTV footage shows the boy, identified as Nishant, riding a toy car outside the main entrance of his house. A large brown cow with prominent horns and its calf can be seen crossing the road in front of him.

The cow suddenly turns towards the child, charges at him from behind and tosses him into the air with its horns.

MOTHER RUSHES TO SAVE CHILD

As the cow attacked the boy, his mother rushed towards the animal and tried to intervene. She was also injured during the confrontation.

Before the cow could make another attempt to attack, other people arrived at the spot and drove the animal away. The child and his mother were both injured in the incident.

LOCALS RAISE STRAY CATTLE CONCERN

Residents said stray cows and bulls are frequently seen roaming freely, not just in Shivaji Colony, but across several parts of Abu Road.

According to locals, the animals often chase pedestrians and get into fights with each other, creating a risk for people in residential areas and on roads.

Residents have urged the municipal authorities to take prompt action to control the stray cattle menace and prevent a more serious accident.
