Two people were taken to hospital after being trampled by cows.

It happened shortly before 8pm yesterday (Tuesday) at Appleton-le-Moors, north of Pickering.

An off-duty firefighter rescued two people being trampled by cows in a field.

A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “A Land Rover with firefighters from Kirkbymoorside was sent to assist with casualty care.

“Crews used the Land Rover to transport paramedics to the casualties. One male and one female were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.”

How to stay safe walking through a field of cows

  1. Keep dogs on a lead

If you’re with a dog you should keep it on its lead, particularly during calving season. By law farmers are entitled to destroy any dog that injures or worries their animal.

2. Stay well clear of calves, and resist temptation to pet them

3. But, if you feel threatened – let your dog off the lead

If you feel threatened by a herd when you are with a dog, let go of its lead so you and it can get to safety separately.

4. Move calmly

Move in a careful, calm way, if you sense a threat, keep moving with your body facing the cow; don’t turn your back to the animal or run.

5. Inform the landowner or authority of any incidents

Tell the landowner and highway authority about any attacks or frightening incidents and contact the Health & Safety Executive and Police if it’s of a serious nature.
