Cow barges into hospital, attacks visitors

An escaped cow attacked people in a hospital’s waiting room in Colombia resulting in a panic.

The incident took place at the Hospital, San Rafael, in the northwestern Colombian department of Antioquia on Saturday.

CCTV footage shows visitors running to a corner for safety after being attacked by the cow.

A woman got hurt after being pinned to the wall by the cow.

Two men came in and pulled the animal towards the exit but could not get it out of the hospital. The cow again attacked the woman in the corner. 

One of the men ran in and distracted the cow and the animal finally left the hospital.

Local newspaper Vanguardia wrote nobody was seriously injured in the incident. The wounded woman was treated for minor injuries and pain while the rest of the patients did not need any treatment.

The cow also damaged two motorcycles at the hospital’s entrance and some chairs in the waiting room.

Later, the cow’s owner went to the hospital to apologize for the damage and asked about the woman’s health. There have been no reports on the police initiating an investigation.
