Horse bit woman on the bottom after being bitten by possibly rabid dog

In a rare case of its kind, a horse ran after and bit a 51-year-old woman on the bottom. It is suspected that the horse became wild after it was bitten by a mad dog (possibly infected by rabies).

Kshetrimayum (O) Bina of New Checkon in Imphal City, the capital of Manipur in northeastern India, was riding a motorcycle when the horse suddenly ran after and bit her.



Ksh Bina said that she was returning home after purchasing some household articles from New Checkon market when the horse suddenly ran after her and bit her on the right buttock. Though the bite did not tear any flesh it left deep teeth marks leading to profuse bleeding. On seeing the ‘amazing scene’, people in the neighbourhood rushed in following which the rogue horse galloped off towards New Checkon Traffic Point.

“The mouth of the horse was already red with blood before it bit me. Possibly the horse had bitten some animals”, Bina said. Later Bina was administered a drug purchased from the Dog Care Centre, Konung Mamang. The horse might have gone wild after it was bitten by a dog infected with rabies, conveyed Bina as stated by the shopkeeper of the Dog Care Centre.
