Two men were stomped by a bull while working Sunday evening leaving one in a life-threatening condition in Cherokee County.
According to the Cherokee-Kings Creek Volunteer Fire Department, firefighters responded to DK’s Creek and Pasture along McGill Highway for two men whom the bull had stomped.
Family members said Brian Oliver and Mike Carroll were working on a fence at a cow pasture when they were attacked by a bull.
The bull drug Oliver into a creek bed hole, and began trampling him. That’s when Carroll stepped in, pulled out a knife, and started stabbing the bull to get it off of Oliver, firefighters said.
The bull then turned its attention to Carroll and started attacking him but not before he could call for help. The fire department and EMS arrived at the scene and rendered aid to Oliver and Carroll, but due to the extent of their injuries, they decided to bring in two helicopters.
