“He was like a runaway train—unstoppable. We just grabbed our stuff and ran. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

The situation, which could have ended in tragedy, took a fortunate turn when quick-thinking locals intervened, successfully capturing the distressed animal before it could cause any harm. The buffalo was then guided away from the crowded beach, bringing the tense ordeal to a close.

Despite the dramatic scenes, miraculously, no one was injured during the buffalo’s unexpected beach visit. The animal was safely returned to its owner, unharmed and likely unaware of the chaos it had caused.

Officials are now investigating how the buffalo managed to escape in the first place, as the incident has left many questioning the safety measures in place to prevent such events, reported Yahoo News UK.
