New footage has surfaced of a shocking incident in rural Queensland which saw a police officer attacked by a raging bull while on the job.
'Bit of a shock': Police officer ploughed down by bull on rural Queensland highway while responding to livestock truck rollover
A patrol was responding to a livestock truck rollover on the highway, when one of the bulls broke loose and charged at one of the officers, ramming him into the ground with full force. QPS said in a statement he was luckily to have survived the attack due to recently being fitted by an Integrated Load Bearing Vest – a protective equipment which combines ballistic and edged weapon technology and provides both soft and hard armour shields.
