Goat on headbutting spree

LONDON: An escaped goat attempted to headbutt a pensioner in a rampage after being refused entry to a shop.

The animal charged at a customer – ironically named Billy – and jumped on to cars, wreaking havoc for half an hour.

The incident, captured on video, happened at a Eurospar in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, in the early hours of Saturday.

Shop manager Jonathan Smyth said he initially mistook the sound of the goat headbutting the window for a bread delivery.

He said: “I thought it was the bread man, but when I turned around I just saw this big goat standing on its two hind legs. A video captured by someone in the shop shows the goat at the front door, up on its hind legs trying to get in. “We had to quickly open the doors and drag Billy inside,” added Jonathan. “Thankfully the only real damage was to the plants we keep outside.”

The frenzy finally came to an end when a man, believed to be the goat’s owner, arrived at the shop and dragged the goat off by the horns. – The Independent
