Ten hurt by beserk buffalo

A BERSERK water buffalo injured ten people in Vietnam while rampaging down crowded streets, across a river and through a house before being shot dead at a kindergarten.

The young male buffalo – normally a docile species used to plough fields – ran wild for about three hours yesterday in Hue City.

The animal broke down the wooden door of a house and collapsed a bed inside as three family members fled in terror.

It finally charged into a kindergarten where teachers raced to take eight children to safety. The animal was cornered in the school’s grounds and shot.
