‘He suffered fatal injuries. The man has managed to get out of the yards and was near the loading ramp. When located he was unconscious and not breathing and was unable to be revived,’ Hamilton police Sergeant David Walkley said.
The animal has been put down.
‘He was still pretty angry when we arrived,’ Sgt Walkey said said.
‘He was that angry he was trying to crash through the fence. He was very aggressive and put down by the knackery.’
The coroner and WorkSafe are investigating.
