A farmer, 60, was in his cattle yard near Loburn Whiterock Rd in North Canterbury when he was attacked by an 800-kilogram bull today. He was lucky escape with fractured ribs after the bull charged and rammed him from behind and pushed him up against the fence in that accident.
A St John spokesman said the bull had "sort of snorted at him and gave him the evil eye and he began to run over to the fence". But luckily, his brother and his workmate were also there and managed to distract the bull and get it off him.
The farmer was believed to have fractured ribs and "moderate" injuries, but the St John spokesman said he was lucky not to have been seriously injured.
The man was taken to the Christchurch Hospital's emergency department by helicopter and was in a comfortable condition. TOT News
