Rampaging Bull Injures Three At OR Rodeo [VIDEO]
The Associated Press reports:
A rodeo bull hopped a fence surrounding an Oregon arena and ran through a concession area into a parking lot, injuring at least three people before wranglers caught up with it, officials said.
The crowd at the 84th Sisters Rodeo in the city of Sisters was singing along with Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” on Saturday night, most with their cellphone flashlights on, as the bull ran around the arena before what was to be the final bull ride of the night, when the bull hopped the fence, according to a video shot by a fan.
Videos posted online showed the bull running through a concession area, knocking over a garbage can and sending people scrambling. The bull lifted one person off the ground, spun them end over end, and bounced them off its horns before the person hit the ground.
The Daily Beast reports:
One clip shared on social media shows the bull rampaging through a concession area and into a parking lot, violently colliding with a woman along the way. The victim is brutally tossed into the air and repeatedly hit by the bull’s horns before crashing to the ground, with horrified witnesses quickly rushing to her aid.
In the arena, an announcer could be heard telling the crowd: “Get to higher ground! There’s a bull out!” Sisters Rodeo said the bull was eventually “secured next to the livestock holding pens by our rodeo pickup men.”
“We wish the best to all affected,” the statement from the association read. “The safety of our fans is our highest priority and we appreciate their support.”
