An Ohio farm owner was hospitalized after one of his zebras attacked him and nearly took his arm off, officials said.
Deputies with the Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office found a 72-year-old man on the ground when they responded to a call about an animal bite around 5:30 p.m. Sunday in Circleville, about 30 miles south of Columbus.
The owner had been burning brush when he turned his back and the zebra attacked him, Sheriff’s Lt. Johnathan R. Strawser said. He said there were six to seven zebras in a fenced-in area on the property.
An officer positioned a cruiser in an attempt to block the zebras from the victim, but a "very hostile" large male zebra charged the driver's-side door of the vehicle, according to the incident report.
