Mad camel wreaks havoc in Saudi town

A camel broke free from its farm in Saudi Arabia and ran amok through the streets, damaging cars and sending frightened people into their homes.

The camel chased passers by and smashed car windows as it kept running astray through the streets of the western town of Taif.

Its owner chased and tried to stop the animal but could not and the situation was quickly reversed when the owner was himself chased by the camel.

“Car started to honk and this made the camel more mad…after wreaking havoc, the camel ran out of the streets and disappeared,” the Arabic language Al-Taif newspaper said, without mentioning if the camel was captured later.
