A runaway bull knocked down a Bangladeshi worker while he was walking on a street, causing him moderate injuries before a standoff with animal control.
According to the Abu Dhabi Police, the Operations Room received a notification on Sunday morning about a snorting, frenzied bull running amok and charging down the streets in front of a hospital in Al Rahba, where it had knocked over a pedestrian and trampled on him. The police and rescue teams rushed to the scene and an animal control company was notified to capture and restrain the animal.
The ambulance patrol team rescued the injured Bangladeshi man and rushed him to hospital. Police patrols cordoned off the area where the raging bull was lurking and evacuated pedestrians and vehicles, pending the arrival of the specialised handlers. The experienced handlers from the animal control company chased the animal and managed to sedate it after a fierce fight. They then transferred it to Abu Dhabi authorities.The Abu Dhabi Police had been investigating the circumstances of the incident, and were currently looking for the bull’s owner to determine where it had escaped from and how.
