Who ordered the beef?

Diners in a small town in central Italy went a step beyond the vision of bulls in china shops when they witnessed a furious bull storming into their restaurant.

According to media reports on Tuesday, the bull horned open the front door of the La Divina restaurant, in the town of San Vittore del Lazio, and then charged its tables, causing panic.

Several guests were reported injured in the commotion.

The bull was eventually anaesthetised by a vet and returned to its legitimate owner, a local breeder, from whom the animal had escaped. — Sapa-DPA
