Bull runs amok, attacks girl, two others

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, JUNE 25. A bull ran amok in Rajgopalanagar police station limits injuring three persons on Monday.

Earlier, the bull had been set free after having been offered to the deity at a shrine, and was bitten by a dog with rabies. On Monday morning, the bull, which was also affected, ran amok in Karim Sab Palya, Kamakshipalya, and surrounding areas, attacking people and causing panic.

The people tried to catch the bull, but could not do so. Police also failed in their attempts. The animal attacked Mr. Gangavenkataiah, assistant sub-inspector of police, and he fell on the road suffering fracture in the knee. Swetha (13) and Devaraj (22), who were attacked by the bull, were injured.

Police and residents managed to catch the bull around noon. It was tranquilised and taken to the Veterinary Hospital at Hebbal.
