This is the dramatic moment a pair of rampaging bulls locked horns on a street in India before crashing through a gate

CCTV footage shows a stunned trach collector standing in the middle of the road as the horned beasts butt heads in Pinjore, Haryana.

The frightened local then quickly moved aside, pushing her overloaded trolley away on October 24.

Moments later, the black-and-white bull forcefully shoved the hapless bovine against the closed gate, causing the barricade to collapse.

Other animals wandered into the front yard while the brown cow lay motionless in the parking area as it was being pinned down by its rival.

Upon hearing the commotion, the homeowner rushed outside to chase the bulls away.

He appeared visibly upset, briefly standing on the driveway before dragging his scattered plants off the path and cleaning up the mess the bulls had made.

Local media reported that the intense standoff damaged two vehicles, though no one was injured in the encounter.

India has hundreds of thousands of cows roaming its streets.

It is partly due to devout locals who follow Hindu customs, with cows regarded as sacred animals that cannot be eaten or slaughtered once they have stopped producing milk. The majority of states ban the sale or slaughter of cows.

Instead of dealing with the economic burden of keeping their spent cattle, many farmers let the beasts roam the streets - leading to chaos when the animals become agitated and turn their fury on humans.
