Elephant gores man to death in India

A wild elephant gored a man to death and injured several other people during a five-hour rampage through Mysore in southern India after farmers chased it from a field outside the city.

Residents scattered as the young male charged through the city streets attacking vehicles on Wednesday. It turned on the victim in a doorway in an alleyway and gored him as residents looked on.
