Two people working at a farmhouse narrowly dodged an attack by a wild elephant that invaded the property and is believed to be responsible for killing another person just two months earlier.

The incident was captured on CCTV footage at an areca nut plantation in Kesaguli Village, located in the Hassan District, in south-western India’s state of Karnataka, on Sunday afternoon, 3rd March.

Two farmers were busy with work when the elephant, reportedly named Karadi, approached them from behind and chased them.

One managed to run away moments before the tusker attacked.

Karadi then chased after the second farmer, who tried to go inside the nearby house to save his life.

However, the house was locked.

Thanks to his quick thinking, he was able to evade the wild animal by squeezing under a car parked in front of the house.

The incident came just two weeks after another attack by a wild elephant that went after three villagers, believed to be Karadi.

Prior to that, the same elephant was thought to have been responsible for killing a person named Vasanth near Belur on 4th January.
