This is the incredible moment a brave cow charged at two men in a bid to stop them from stabbing a young girl to death.

The girl, named as Seema Gujjar, was stabbed multiple times and killed in Gwalior, India, in what was believed to be an 'honour killing'.

In the 26-second video clip, the cow becomes angry after it saw the men and tried to prevent the dreadful attack from continuing by immediately pouncing on the pair.

It knocked them both to the ground and a parked motorbike fell over as the protective animal tried to force the men to flee the scene.

The youngster managed to run from the scene, but tragically collapsed and later died.

Her father, Kalyan Singh, and her uncle Lakhan Singh, allegedly carried out the attack after Seema was believed to have angered them by running off with a 22-year-old man known as Sonu in January.
