Charging Cow Slams Farm Worker Into Barn Gate in Japan

A security camera in a Japanese dairy barn caught the moment a Holstein cow suddenly charged through a gate and slammed a farm worker into the metal bars.

The clip, shared by X user あぶそん (Abuson) on October 20 with the caption “Poor me,” was recorded at 1:53 p.m. that day, according to the camera’s timestamp. The caption suggests the person knocked down was the poster.

The footage shows the worker in rubber boots standing by a metal gate as cows move through the pen. One cow turns and barges through the gap, crushing the worker against the bars and throwing them to the floor as the animal pushes on. It was not clear whether the worker was hurt.
