A MAN in his 60s has died after a runaway bull went on the rampage at a farm near Leominster. The bull escaped twice at a farm in Stoke Prior and left two other men injured.

West Midlands Ambulance Service and the County Air Ambulance were called to the scene on both occasions.

At 11am on Thursday a man in his 50s sustained a head injury which was regarded as none life threatening. He was treated by the crew at the scene and later taken by land ambulance to Hereford County Hospital for further treatment.

Then, the ambulance service received a second call to the farm where the bull had once again gone out of control just before 1pm. The same ambulance crew and two air ambulances attended the scene.

Paramedic Jon Murray said: "The first call to the farm resulted in us treating a man for relatively minor injuries. However, we were requested to return to the farm a couple of hours later when the bull appears to have got out of control once again.

"At one point, we were just four yards from the animal as we dragged one of the injured over forty yards to safety. We also managed to get to the other casualty, unfortunately, the man had sustained fatal injuries and there was nothing we could do for him."

The man, also in his 60s, was treated for serious leg and chest injuries and was later airlifted to Hereford County Hospital.

An ambulance spokesman said: "The ambulance crew took a brave decision and risked serious injury trying to recover two casualties from the path of a dangerous bull, having already attended the farm earlier in the day to treat a patient injured by the same animal."
