As the animal comes back to where it stood initially, the man stands up grappling with the attack but as he attempted to move away, the bull came back and pushed him against the wall of a house using its horns.

Right after the old man falls down, a local, who had been looking for a chance to help, threw water at the bull to shoo it away and took the injured elderly inside his house.

Moments later, another man came under the wrath of the bull as he was crossing the same lane on a scooter. Going by the video, he seemed to have realised the bovine's intention, as soon after taking the hit, he regained balance and briskly walked away leaving his vehicle in order to avoid any further damage.

After these incidents, the bull was tied up and was later taken to a nearby cowshed.
