Reports suggest that the cows were provoked by the noise generated by the girl’s younger brother. In a harrowing scene, the mother and son managed to escape the onslaught, while the young girl bore the brunt of the attack, enduring multiple stomps from the enraged animal.

The mother’s cries for help attracted the attention of nearby individuals, who rushed to the scene to aid the beleaguered girl. Several men attempted to deter the cows, but their efforts were met with resistance, as the cows persisted in their aggression.
Ultimately, the intervention of a local resident wielding sticks prompted the cows to retreat. With the animals fleeing, the immediate threat was neutralized, allowing the girl to be attended to by rescuers. She was promptly transported to a hospital for treatment of her injuries.
The viral video has sparked discussions regarding the need for increased awareness and caution when encountering animals in public spaces, as well as the importance of prompt intervention and community support during such distressing situations.
