Runaway bull charges at unsuspecting locals and knocks cyclist off bike in Peru

A bull charged at unsuspecting locals in Peru after escaping from the vehicle that was transporting it on a highway in Santa Anita, a district near the capital Lima.

It was finally brought under control after the intervention of the Santa Anita Police and the bull’s owner.
