Escaped Bull Causes Panic in Peruvian Village
A bull that bolted from a barn in Peru caused panic in a village near the capital Lima, damaging a police car and slightly injuring a woman before its capture, police said Friday.
Weighing in at 1,100 pounds (500 kilograms), "David" escaped Thursday night after a fight with another bull in Villa El Salvador, a village near the Peruvian capital, said barn owner Jonas Pareja.
The animal headed to a nearby hill, but later roamed the streets of the village, causing uproar among residents, who quickly fled their homes.
Before being cornered by police Friday morning, the bull slammed into a woman, who was slightly injured, and also badly damaged a police patrol car.
"The bull is usually easygoing, but the escape stressed him out and caused some problems," said the owner.
