In a heart-stopping spectacle captured on CCTV, a massive bull unleashed chaos in a bustling market in Jinghong city, located in China’s southwestern Yunnan Province. The hulking bovine, in a frenzy of raw power, tore through the crowd, leaving destruction and panic in its wake. One person was seriously injured, and two others sustained minor wounds during the beast’s terrifying rampage.
The footage reveals the sheer force of the animal as it charged toward a group of unsuspecting bystanders, scattering them like pins in a bowling alley. With no regard for the chaos it caused, the bull barreled through the market a second time, toppling a motorcycle propped against a trailer and smashing into a row of parked bikes. The scene was one of pure pandemonium as onlookers scrambled to safety.

Undeterred, the enraged creature stormed onto the main road, locking its sights on a moving car as its next target. But it was a vibrant red motorbike that seemed to ignite the bull’s fury further. Pausing briefly, the animal fixed its gaze on the bike before launching a ferocious charge. The panicked rider was knocked to the ground, helpless against the bull’s overwhelming strength. In a chilling moment, the beast’s hind legs buckled briefly, but it quickly regained its footing and turned on the fallen biker once more. The bull butted the victim toward a tree, trampling over him before vanishing from view behind a passing black car.
While popular belief holds that the color red drives bulls into a rage, the truth is more nuanced. Bulls are red-green colorblind, and it’s the movement of objects—like a matador’s cape in bullfighting—that provokes their reaction, not the hue itself. In this chaotic scene, it seems the bull’s rampage was fueled by instinct and motion, turning an ordinary day in the market into a moment of sheer terror.
