Cow pushes man off scooter, tramples him on roadside in Gujarat. Video goes viral
A man in Gujarat was left critically injured after a cow attacked him for nearly two minutes, with CCTV footage sparking concern over stray animal threats.
A young man was critically injured after a cow attacked and trampled him for nearly two minutes in Gujarat’s Rajkot district, with CCTV footage of the incident now going viral and raising concerns about stray animal threats.
The incident took place on March 30 in the Shivnagar area of Veraval village. The victim, identified as Pankaj Solanki, was riding his two-wheeler through the area when a cow approaching from the opposite direction suddenly turned aggressive.
The animal rammed into him, knocking him off his Activa scooter before repeatedly attacking him with its hooves and head. The assault continued for close to two minutes, leaving the man severely injured and struggling to defend himself.
In the clip, people were seen rushing in, attempting to scare the cow away. However, despite their efforts, the animal continued the attack for several moments before more people gathered at the scene.
As the young man’s cries for help drew a crowd, locals eventually intervened more forcefully, using sticks to drive the cow away and rescue him. The situation could have turned far more serious had the incident occurred in an isolated area without immediate help.

The viral CCTV clip has triggered panic among residents, with several users expressing their concerns over the growing menace of stray animals in the area. The incident also brought attention to the risks posed by unattended cattle in public spaces, especially in busy residential localities.
