This is the moment a camera crew filmed a bull race by standing in front of the charge – and were unsurprisingly trampled to the ground.

Videographer Raman Lekshman and his assistant were sat on a motorbike ahead of the start line of the charging bull cart race at a festival.

But when the animals charged they didn’t move out of the way and were knocked to the ground by the charging pack at the Rekla Race in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

The pair escaped with just minor injuries.

The race is held during major festivals and involves race bulls lugging makeshift carts a certain distance of up to 31 miles.

The organisers of the race on 28 March asked Mr Lekshman to cover the event.
