A dad says a rampaging bull charged towards him while he was on the school run before it was shot dead by police. Andy Lumb, 42, was dropping his daughters, aged four and six, off at school when the animal 'clattered past on the pavement' right in front of them.
He just managed to get his two daughters inside their house but the bull 'charged through the hedge' at him and 'only just missed' him. The area was put in lockdown just before 9am amid fears the beast could escape on to a main road and surrounding housing estates.
And armed cops shot it dead, saying they were forced to kill it "before anyone was seriously hurt". Andy said: "I was just leaving the house in the morning to do the school run on foot with my four and 6-year-old daughters when the bull clattered past on the pavement right in front of us.
