RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,
A 57-year-old man has died and two people have been injured
after being attacked by a water buffalo in Monmouthshire in south-east Wales,
police have said.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene on a farm near the
town of Usk, while a 19-year-old man was taken to hospital with critical
injuries and a 22-year-old woman sustained a serious leg wound. The buffalo was
put down.
Neighbours expressed shock at the tragedy, which happened at
about 2.50pm on Tuesday when the animal went on the rampage.
Police did not spell out exactly where the incident took
place but one farm in the area keeps a herd of Mediterranean water buffalo to
make soap. There was no answer from the farm on Tuesday night.
A neighbouring farmer said he had been told that the buffalo
went on the rampage. He said: “The first I knew of it was when I saw the police
helicopter and the air ambulance buzzing around. Some people do try to
diversify and keep water buffalo, usually for their milk,” he said. “It’s a
huge shock to everyone in the area.”
Val Smith, a county councillor, said: “It’s a lovely quiet
area, lots of smallholdings and small farms. This is a dreadful thing to
happen. My sympathies to all involved.”
