Woman attacked by herd of cows |
2017-05-11 |
[EADT.CO.UK] A mother-of-three says she is lucky to be alive after being attacked by a herd of cows when walking her dog in fields near Great Yeldham in Essex. Carol Green, 52, of Goodchild Way, has warned others to avoid the animals, especially if they are with young calves. Ms Green was walking through farmland close to the village when the ’horrifying’ attack happened. She said the herd suddenly came at her, knocking her to the floor and headbutting her. "It was absolutely horrifying," she said. "It was a living nightmare." "I tried to keep calm and walk a little faster but they had blocked the stile.?"They were just closing in. The large one seemed to be leading the others. "Then it headbutted me, it had its head like a bull would have it. "It knocked me off my feet and then started kicking me about with its hooves and its head." Ms Green, who says she has been suffering nightmares and flashbacks since the attack, managed to escape by climbing over a gate and making her way to a nearby fishing pond. "There was a chap there who heard the screams but didn’t pay much attention because he thought it was youths messing about. "He put me in the car and took me home, called the police and rang the paramedics. "I was then taken by ambulance to Broomfield Hospital. I suffered bad bruising mainly. I had to get the back of my ear glued because there was a nasty cut behind my ear." |

#7 Beat me to the udder. Figures. It's utterly mad to do battle On foot, in the open, with cattle. It would've behooved her To mount up, maneuver, And flank 'em (or maybe skedaddle). And what about the dog? Death of journalism... you're soaking in it. |
