KALPATTA: A young man narrowly escaped from a wild elephant that charged towards him while he was lifting his bicycle. The elephant attempted to attack locals of Karnataka in the Muthanga-Bandipur forest area. The passengers on the bicycle quickly got into the car that was trailing them and managed to flee. Nassar and his team, who are natives of Kottakal, were also in the car. They were the ones who captured the footage of the elephant's attempted attack. The incident occurred around 8 am. Nassar was en route to Hyderabad.
The Karnataka natives were attempting to lift the bike which was lying on the Bandipur road. There were elephants at a distance from them, but these young individuals failed to notice the elephants approaching them. They only realized the danger when the occupants of the car behind them honked their horn.
In the meantime, the young group attempted to escape on their bike, but the elephant pursued them. In the video, one of the young men suddenly abandons the bike and flees. He managed to get into the car that had followed them and they escaped. However, it remains unclear why they stopped the vehicle in the forest or how the vehicle ended up overturned.
