Villagers gathered in numbers to drive away a herd of wild elephants that strayed away from the forests and began raiding their crops in northeast India.

The incident took place on November 19 in Golaghat district, Assam.

Visuals show at least 20 elephants crossing the road and entering a field, and later feasting on crops from both plantations and farmland.

Dozens of people can be seen filming the elephants from a distance, while some began throwing rocks and screaming to try and drive the wayward herd away from the crops.

According to reports, the herd in total consisted of 30 to 50 elephants, and locals claim similar incursions happen every year as elephants stray away from their habitat in search of food.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Another footage shows the pachyderms travelling through a tea plantation as excited and nervous onlookers film the scenes on their mobile phones.

The pachyderms are seen feasting on grains while spraying mud on their bodies.

Yet another video showed youths being chased by a pachyderm who didn't take the stalking lightly.

Charged by the elephant, the youths run for their lives, however, they stop after the pachyderm gives up.

Seeing them coming back, the elephant chases them for a second time, this time going further.

Several villagers gather to shout and make strange noises at the elephants in order to drive them away.

They are also seen pelting stones as another charge from an elephant forces them to scatter and run.

According to reports, the herd consisted of 30 to 50 elephants who strayed from the forest.

Locals said the scenes prevail every year during this time of the year as elephants stray away from their habitat in search of food.

Fortunately, no one was injured.
