A bull that was on the verge of being castrated in Austria on Wednesday retained its manhood by knocking down and injuring the operating veterinarian, according to police.
The bull had been given an initial syringe of sedatives, in the northern city of Linz when the vet approached the bull to administer a further injection.
Perhaps aware of its testicle-less fate, the bovine jumped up "suddenly and completely unexpectedly," sending the 47-year-old vet flying to the ground.
The doctor was taken to a local hospital to be treated for his injuries.
"As for the bull, I assume he's doing very well indeed," a police spokesman told Agence France-Presse.
