Bull attack in Klagenfurt: farmer injured, son provides help
A worrying incident occurred in Klagenfurt on Tuesday evening when a 66-year-old farmer was attacked by a breeding bull while working in the stables. At around 7:50 p.m., the farmer and his 35-year-old son were in the stable mucking out the place when the bull, which weighs around 900 kilograms, suddenly became aggressive.
The huge breeding bull pushed the older man's head against his upper body several times and finally dragged him near the stable wall. This happened at a moment when the son was just a few meters away. The son acted quickly, rushed to his father's aid and managed to keep the animal away from him and lock it in a safe area.
