Two people knocked over by bull on the loose in a town
Two people have been taken to hospital after they were knocked over by a bull on the loose in a town.
A woman in her 70s and a man in his 40s suffered minor injuries in the incident in Lerwick, Shetland, at about 7.45pm yesterday, police said.
The man was knocked over and trampled as people tried to get it into a trailer while the woman was knocked over earlier.
Both were taken to Gilbert Bain Hospital for treatment.
It is thought the bull had escaped from a field before wandering into the town.
