A grandad was thrown 8ft into the air and trampled on by an angry cow he was trying to escape. He spent a week in intensive care after his attempt to flee left him with six broken ribs and lung and spleen damage.
Steve Adams, 63, fell victim to the "aggressive" animal while using a legal right of way. At the time of the attack, he was on holiday in Devon with his wife Jane.
The father-of-three said he was now terrified of walking into fields with cows. The farmer responsible for the herd was prosecuted for allowing cows with calves in a field with public access, with a court told the animals could become aggressive if they perceived a threat to their young.
