(TMX) – A bull that escaped the Utah County Fair and charged the mother and brother of the state’s lieutenant governor, injuring them.
A video shared by Chris Henson shows the Texas longhorn bull entering the rodeo ring at the fairgrounds in Spanish Fork Thursday night. After immediately throwing a rider and quickly goring a scarecrow, rodeo cowboys attempt to gain control of the animal.
One of the horses crashes into a gate, knocking over a worker and pushing it open. The bull immediately follows and runs free.
Out in a parking area, the rampaging bull set its sights on the family of Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson.
“Despite being chased, knocked down & stepped on (bro’s foot) they miraculously escaped w/minor injuries. They’re pretty shaken (and I’m pretty pissed),” Henderson tweeted the following day.
On Saturday, she posted a video of the event, noting it would “probably trigger” her mother. “Imagine unexpectedly facing this animal in a dark parking lot.”
Per reports, Henderson’s mother sustained bruising and minor injuries on her arms before hiding in a vehicle. Henderson’s brother’s foot was injured when the bull stepped on it.
Rodeo cowboys were able to corral the rogue bull in the parking lot after just a few minutes.
