Elephants Rampage Through South Korea

Wed Apr 20, 8:21 AM ET Top Stories - AP


SEOUL, South Korea - Six elephants escaped from an amusement park Wednesday and injured a woman as they rampaged through the South Korean capital, according to a news report.

All were recaptured and returned to the park, police said.

An elephant charged into an alley near an elementary school and hit a 52-year-old woman, Roh In-sun, with its trunk, Yonhap news agency said. She was being treated at a hospital.

"She fell, and I ran away because I was scared," said Roh's landlord, Lee Hye-ja, who was standing with her when the elephant charged toward them. The animal remained trapped in a garden.

Three of the pachyderms had barged into a nearby restaurant.

The elephants escaped due to the "zookeeper's carelessness" on the circus compound at the Children's Grand Park, police said.
