Massachusetts Police Bodycam Shows 'Aggressive' 1,300-Pound Bull Charging Officer

Bodycam footage captures a "highly aggressive" bull charging a Raynham officer after escaping from Mathieu Farms. The 1,300-pound bull was being taken to the slaughterhouse when it broke free, jumped a 6-foot berm, and fled through electric fences.

The bull ran through multiple fences... and jumped over a 6-foot-tall berm to escape.

Chaos ensued as the bull charged onto Interstate 495, causing a three-car crash. After escaping into the woods, it took a dip in Lake Nippenicket. Police, along with farm workers, confronted the bull. It aggressively charged at the group, prompting an officer to fire his rifle, striking the bull in the leg.

I want to commend our brave officers who put themselves in harm's way to make sure that a bad situation did not get worse.
— Chief David LaPlante

Despite being injured, the bull continued its rampage until the farm owner euthanized it with a hunting rifle.
