This is the terrifying moment a wild elephant chases a man swimming in its watering hole before trampling him to death after he twists his ankle and falls over.

The horrific footage shows the man paddling in the water while the angered beast moves towards him in the Seraikela Kharsawan district of Jharkhand in east India.

As the man tries to get out of the lake and flee the scene, he twists his ankle and falls to the ground.

His friends endeavour to lift and carry him away from the encroaching male elephant.


Yet they are forced to leave their comrade when the giant animal rapidly charges towards the group.

In no time the elephant catches up with the limping man and brutally tramples him to death.

The man's friends try to deter the beast from its violent actions by hurling rocks at the animal.

But this proves futile and the elephant continues its vicious attack on the man's body.

The ferocious creature uses its tusks and trunk to throw the victim into the air.
