Chennai: Two stray cows attacked a woman and tossed her in the air at Ayapakkam near Ambattur on Friday evening. CCTV visuals of the attack went viral on social media on Saturday.
Police said a woman, Shobana, was walking on the Avadi-Ayapakkam road when two stray cows pushed her down and attacked her.
Passersby rushed to the woman’s aid and rescued her. She was then taken to a hospital for treatment.
Residents said that, much like in Chennai and Tambaram corporation limits, stray cattle menace has assumed alarming proportions in Avadi corporation too.
Several untethered cows and bulls roam the roads, posing danger to motorists. Despite warnings by Avadi Corporation authorities, cattle owners have not reined in the animals.
