A strange and chaotic scene unfolded in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, when two horses got into a serious fight near the Income Tax Office at Nagarath Chowk. What started as a street scuffle quickly escalated into chaos, leaving people shocked and unsure of how to react.

As locals tried to calm the animals, the horses ran into a nearby showroom, damaging property inside. When it looked like things might settle down, one of the horses jumped straight into a moving e-rickshaw filled with passengers at the busy intersection.

The sudden leap caused a crash, seriously injuring the e-rickshaw driver and one passenger. The entire area was left in confusion as people watched the unusual drama unfold.

Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fight between the horses. For now, Jabalpur residents are left talking about the day when the streets turned into a surprise animal arena—not your usual traffic jam!
