Man Attacked by Cattle Beast

Man Attacked by Cattle Beast


The Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to Pukeokahu, east of Taihape, this morning where a local man in his 50’s had suffered multiple serious injuries when he was attacked by a cattle beast while working in stock yards.


Two men were attempting to climb out of the yards when they were charged by the steer - one man was bunted by the steer hoisting him out of the yards by some meters where he then landed on his head.

The patient was stabilised at the scene by the on-board St John Ambulance Intensive Care Paramedic before being airlifted to Palmerston North Hospital in a stable condition.
