DHAKA (Reuters) - A bull bought for the Muslim Eid al-Adha festival charged through a posh shopping mall in the Bangladesh capital Dhaka Monday, causing panic and damaging several shops.
No one was hurt in the incident which took place in the city's Gulshan diplomatic area.
Guards captured the bull in a net and handed it back to its owners, police and witnesses said.
Parts of the Bangladesh capital, a city of 11 million people, have turned into cattle markets ahead of Eid on Tuesday, when officials say up to 2.5 million bulls and goats would be slaughtered across the city.
Slaughtering animals and sharing meat with relatives and the poor are mandatory for every Muslim who can afford it.
