A rogue elephant went on a rampage chasing cows, which were peacefully grazing in a field. <br /><br />As the villagers watched anxiously the elephant ran into the field and went after the cows. <br /><br />A few bovines managed to outrun and dodge the pursuing behemoth. But one of them, a little slow, was trampled over by the elephant. <br />The villagers then raised a din to chase the elephant away. <br /><br />The injured cow was shifted to a veterinary clinic for treatment.<br /><br />The incident occurred at a village near Hosur in South India on November 17. <br /><br />The elephant had earlier attacked the village and injured several men, two of whom had to be hospitalised. <br /><br />The growing human-animal conflict in India takes an average toll of 400 people and 100 elephants every year.<br /><br />Due to their shrinking habitats, elephants are being increasingly spotted in places like Hosur, where there was no record of the species a decade ago.
