Man injured after being charged by cows in Whittington
A man has been taken to hospital after being injured by a herd of cows whilst walking his dog in Shropshire this morning.
The incident happened in a field containing the cattle near the A495 Station Road in Whittington, Oswestry, at 9.15am.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “The 46-year-old man was next to the field being cared for by passers-by when crews arrived.
“The man had been walking his dog across the field when the cows suddenly charged, trampling and kicking him before he managed to escape.
“Crews assessed the man and found he had sustained facial, chest and leg injuries. The man was given pain relief and oxygen before being taken by land ambulance to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital for further assessment and treatment.”
An ambulance and a responder paramedic attended the scene.
