In a shocking clip, a 9-year-old girl is being attacked and hurled by a cow. The incident occurred on August 9 in the MMDA colony.

The incident took place when the girl was returning home from her school along with her mother and 5-year-old brother.

In the video, the cow is seen attacking the girl. Much later, the people of the colony came to her rescue.

The residents of the area successfully rescued the girl, and subsequently, she received medical care at a hospital for her injuries. After receiving a complaint from the child's mother and conducting an investigation, authorities apprehended the 26-year-old owner of the cow responsible.

A legal case has been initiated against him for neglecting proper care of the animal, leading to its roaming around and causing harm to the child.
