This is the hilarious moment a mechanic attempted to scare away a goat only for it to chase him across a yard.

CCTV footage shows the car repair worker in a white shirt tossing a shovel at the horned creature in Hebei, China.

But instead of fleeing, the agitated buck charged straight at him on July 23.

The frantic man bolted across the compound, stumbling over a wheel lying on the ground as the white equine continued its pursuit.

The animal briefly halted in front of him, giving the man a chance to scramble to his feet and dash away.

Meanwhile, his baffled colleague quickly climbed atop a stack of tyres to avoid getting caught in the chaos.

There were no injuries from the amusing encounter.

Goats may attack due to territorial instincts, fear responses, or dominance behaviours, especially when they feel threatened or provoked.
