This is the terrifying moment a rampaging buffalo attacks mourners at a funeral in Indonesia.

Dramatic footage shows the enraged farm animal charging at two residents in Uraso Village, North Bastem District, Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi province.

The attack took place during the reception of visitors at a Rambu Solo' party, a traditional 'death party' held in the region.

The injured individuals were taken to the hospital, suffering from headbutts delivered by the violent bovine.

The Rambu Solo' ceremony is an event in Torajan culture, featuring feasts, music, dancing, and the slaughter of livestock, like buffaloes and pigs, as symbolic offerings. It is one of the most important rituals in the community.

Indonesia's buffalo population was estimated to be around 1.17 million in 2022. Buffaloes are commonly used in the country as draft animals and feature in various cultural and religious rituals as symbolic offerings.
