Watch: Rampaging bull wreaks havoc in Saudi capital Riyadh, damaging six parked cars, sparks panic

Dubai: A raging bull caused havoc in Riyadh’s Mansoura neighbourhood, damaging six parked cars and sparking widespread panic.
The incident, which was recorded in viral video, took place on Sunday morning, resulting in significant traffic disruption but no human injuries.
Residents and local authorities quickly responded and managed the situation and prevented further chaos.
Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the bull’s escape and to implement measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
The incident occurred on first day of Eid Al Adha, an important Islamic holiday during which Muslims honor the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.
Instead, God provided a ram to sacrifice. In commemoration, Muslims around the world slaughter sheep, cows, or bulls, symbolizing their willingness to give up something important for the sake of God.
