CHENNAI: A 60-year-old man fractured his leg when a cow attacked him as he went to dump garbage near his house at Korukkupet on Monday night. The RK Nagar police have registered a case and an inquiry is underway to trace the owner of the cow.

In October last year, 80-year-old Sundram with speech disabilities died at the hospital after a cow attacked him in Triplicane. The owner of the cow was booked. In another incident, a three-year-old died when the bike on which he was travelling hit a cow that suddenly jumped in front of the vehicle near Tambaram last August.
