Charging bull breaks loose in Israeli bank and wreaks havoc!

Lod, Israel - A bull in a china shop can do a lot of damage, but having one loose in a bank during the busy business hours of Monday morning is just as bad. Just ask the unfortunate employees of Bank Leumi in the Israeli city of Lod.

As if the start of a new work week wasn't hard enough to deal with, the Bank Leumi staff suddenly found themselves having to deal with a literal raging bull that had somehow ended up in their building.

Surveillance camera footage posted all over social media shows a showdown between the huge animal and a man trying to scare it away.

His flailing arms only succeed in making the bull angrier, but as it advances, things become even more surreal: the slippery floor isn't exactly hoof-friendly, so the scene suddenly turns into a carbon copy of Bambi on ice.

Thankfully, no one was injured in all the chaos. The bull, which had reportedly escaped its owner and gone out for a stroll around the city, was eventually brought under control by a veterinarian with a tranquilizer gun, according to the Israeli news website ynet.

The banking bovine is reportedly now back in the possession of its owner.
