(UPI) – A California Highway Patrol officer’s dashboard camera captured the moment a loose cow he was attempting to wrangle turned and attempted to throw him into the air.

Bruce Thuelchassaigne, a spokesman for the CHP’s office in Susanville, said officer Brandon Pratt was attempting to convince the loose cow to leave a rural highway when the 2,000-pound animal turned to face him.

Thuelchassaigne told the Los Angeles Times that the cow “took offense” to Pratt’s efforts and attempted to throw him into the air, but only managed to land a “glancing blow” on the officer’s right shoulder.
