Assam: Conflict Between Man And Elephant, Man Pinned Onto The Ground

Dhubri: A horrific incident has occurred in the Tamarhat region of Assam's Dhubri district on December 18 and was captured on camera.

The video clip captured by locals shows a wild elephant chasing and attacking a man as he tries to escape.

The elephant is charging the man so swiftly that he catches the 30-year-old man within a blink of an eye and ploughs him onto the ground with its tusks. 

The eyewitnesses who were present during the time of this incident can also be heard screaming in panic. The elephant can be seen dragging the man across the large open field at the end of the video.

Meanwhile, national media shared the 14-second clip of the terrifying incident on social media with details about the same.

 "A 30-year-old man was chased and attacked by a wild elephant at a village in Tamarhat area of Dhubri district of Assam on December 18," said the note which was attached to the video.

The tweet added that the man was critically injured as a result of which he was admitted to a hospital for treatment and the wild elephant was driven into the woods according to a forest officer.

This video has turned out to be viral racking up 24,000 views and tons of petrified comments.

A similar case of elephant attack took place in the neighbouring state of Meghalaya earlier this month.

Two persons were killed and another victim got severely injured when a rogue elephant attacked them on separate occasions in Meghalaya's West Garo Hills district.

According to officials, the rogue elephant was believed to have been separated from its herd, which had been moving along the state's boundary with Assam.
