INDIA – SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 Stray street bull brutally attacked a random female pedestrian. It charged at her and threw her against a wall. The woman was transported to the hospital in critical condition. Updates on her current health status are not available.
In Indian cities and villages, incidents of freely roaming bulls attacking passersby are becoming more frequent. Animals that often wander unsupervised through streets and marketplaces can be unpredictable and may attack when suddenly irritated or frightened. The consequences are serious – ranging from bruises to fatal injuries.
The problem is linked to overpopulation in cities, lack of livestock regulation, and the tradition of free-roaming cattle. Authorities are trying to address the situation by capturing animals and establishing shelters, but given the number of stray cattle, it remains a long-term challenge.
For both residents and tourists, this means increased caution – especially on busy streets where people and animals mix daily. Bull attacks thus serve as a reminder that the stray cattle issue in India is not only a matter of hygiene or traffic but also a serious threat to public safety.
