A construction worker in India died after he strayed too close to a friend's camel, which bit him on the head.
45-year-old Govind Trivedi was announced dead at the scene of the attack in the city of Ahmedabad, in Gujarat province, while Phoola Mena, who had been tasked with guarding the camel, was injured in the leg while trying to free Mr Trivedi.
According to witnesses, the accident happened late at night on Sunday, while the camel was tied up next to a market road in the Bapunagar district.
Police say they are interrogating the camel's owner, Lalisinh Rajput, to see if there had been any negligence on his part.
Mr Mena was paid to take care of the animal, but had been asleep when Mr Trivedi arrived.
Kalidas Waghela, who lives in a hut close to the path, said that Mr Trivedi is an alcoholic who used to come and visit his home.
“Trivedi strayed near the camel on his way home. The camel got irritated and attacked him; fixing its jaws on the man’s head,” he explained.
His cries woke up locals and Mr Mena, but by the time they rushed to help, it was already too late.
