Man who rescued couple from 'berserk' cow almost lost leg in two-minute attack

A man who survived a freak attack from a 'beserk' cow has told how he nearly almost his arm after the 70-stone mammal fell on top of him.

Keen walker Charlie Hird, 64, said he feared at one point that it was "game over" during the two-minute attack, which saw the enraged bovine suddenly turn on him when he stepped in to save a couple.

He had been out with a walking group on public land near Hallbankgate in Cumbria when he spotted a man across the field walking near a cow and her calf.
