The cow flipped the man into the air in front of a shocked crowd in Nigeria
This dramatic footage shows the horrifying moment a cow gored a man and flipped him into the air.

The video, filmed in Nigeria, showed a man trying to catch the long-horned cow with a rope on a pole, watched by a crowd.

However the cow evaded the rope and instead charged at a bystander.

As he sprinted away, the cow turned its attention to another man trying to run off.

In his desperate efforts to scramble to safety, he stumbled into a ditch and the cow stabbed him with its horns.


It then used them to flip the man into the air, leaving him in a crumpled heap on the ground.

To try and distract the cow, the crowd started hurling rocks at it but the animal continued to attack the man with its horns.

The final part of the video shows the man clinging onto the cow's horns and the crowd eventually rushed in to save him.

More than two million people have viewed the footage since it was uploaded.
