The rhino had strayed into the Assam village and attacked the man in a paddy field
A man at Gaurisagar in Sivasagar district of Assam was seriously injured after he was attacked by a full-grown rhino which had strayed to the village and attacked the man inside a paddy field.
The incident took place at Gaurisagar Khanamukh Bhitorowalgaon today (Dec 11) morning.
A video of the rhino attacking the man — identified as Dipankar Konwar — created sensation with visuals showing the rhino charging towards the man and then knocking him down.
The man, who was injured after being attacked by the rhinoceros, however, had a providential escape after the pachyderm turned away and ran in the opposite direction.
