A Brit plunged 100ft from a mountain after being charged at by an angry mule while on a hiking trip.
Syed Bukhari was in Haramosh, located in the Himalayas, for three days.
While the local mules are generally friendly, Syed found this wasn’t always the case on the second day of his hike – when one charged towards him, sending him flying off the edge of a mountain.
Syed told NeedToKnow.online: "The fall down happened all so quick that I just remember the animal hitting me and me falling off the edge seeing my friends reaction.
"I didn’t realise how high we were until I was all the way down.
"The locals arrived immediately with ropes. Some even climbed down to tie the ropes around me, and guided my steps back up."
During the fall, Syed from Walthamstow, London, lost his camera equipment and broke some of the things he was carrying.
He added: "I was carried for six to eight hours, until we got back to base.
"There, vehicles could access me and I was taken to a nearby hospital where I got stitched up."
Syed, 22, had three separate head wounds that required a total of eight stitches.
He said: "I’m left with back pain, scars on my face, legs and back, pretty much all over my body."
Syed posted a video of his accident on his Instagram (@majestik.sb) where he showed his hike before and after the fall, leaving viewers in shock.
The video gained hundreds of likes and comments.
One person commented: "Glad to know you’re alive."
Another said: "S**t, get well soon bro."
Someone else commented: "Bless the people that helped you! Amazing u got out of that alive!" [sic]
"Damn.. I am glad you are okay bro," said another user.
A further response said: "Omg. Glad you’re okay brother Omg. Wish you a speedy recovery."
The Mirror reported last month how an RAF mountaineer died last month in Pakistan after falling 3,300ft off one of the highest peaks on Earth, in the Himalayas.
Francois Cazzanelli saw RAF Wing Commander Gordon Henderson, from Dunfermline in Fife, Scotland, lose his balance and plunge about 3,300ft as he tried to reach the top of Broad Peak in the Karakoram mountains, on the border of Pakistan and China.
The dad-of-two, an extremely experienced climber, was taking part in the British Services Mountaineering Expedition to Broad Peak, which sits close to the Chinese border around five miles from K2 when he ran into difficulty.
The expedition is to climb the 26,414ft mountain, which is the 12th highest mountain in the world.
Wing Commander Henderson, who studied at Heriot-Watt University and served in Afghanistan, is survived by his wife Kerry, with the family also understood to have links to San Antonio in Texas.
Mr Cazzanelli, an Italian climber and mountain guide, was also attempting the ascent when he witnessed the tragedy on July 19.
The guide said he gave a nod to the RAF officer, indicating that he could go first and just as he did, Henderson prepared to turn, and took one step "but his rucksack bashed against the rock face."
Mr Cazzanelli, told La Stampa, an Italian newspaper: "He lost his balance and he was spun forward.
"He slid for just a moment, then he fell head first. He disappeared without even crying out.
" I was speechless, rooted to the spot."
