This did not go unnoticed by the young cows. Suddenly, they storm the couple and the dog, the police confirm. The hiker immediately releases the dog leash, but the cows continue to run towards the couple. The 63-year-old and his 59-year-old wife got caught between the angry animals and were “attacked and knocked down”, the police said.

The couple is injured. After the incident, they went to the local doctor on their own and were brought to the Innsbruck clinic after the first aid with the rescue.
