A South Carolina grandfather, 54, was tragically killed by an enraged bull while repairing a fence at a farm.
Brian Oliver succumbed to his injuries after fighting for his life for four days in the hospital, according to Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler.
The unexpected attack occurred Sunday afternoon when Oliver was fixing a fence at DK's Creek and Pasture farm near Blacksburg, a town about a 45-minute drive from Charlotte.
The bull dragged Oliver into a creek bed and began trampling him until his friend Mike Carroll intervened, as reported by Fox59.
Carroll stabbed the bull with a knife, successfully diverting its attention from Oliver before becoming a target of the attack himself.
