A 59-year-old Connecticut man was seriously injured after being attacked by a bull at the farm where he was working.
Family members told Hearst Connecticut Media that the bull attacked Randy Janquins on Friday at a farm in Harwinton, Connecticut, as he was putting several cows back into a barn after milking them.
“The bull was in heat because it’s their mating season at this time of year,” Ellen Hull, Janquins` sister, told Hearst. “Randy basically was in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Janquins, of Winsted, Connecticut, suffered a broken neck and is paralyzed from the waist down, Hull said. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors fused vertebrae in his neck, she said.
Janquins told his sister he was lying in the farmer`s field for “quite some time” before someone found him.
