LADSON, S.C. (WHDH) — A video of a camel attacking its handler at a fair in South Carolina while it was giving two people a ride is going viral.

Jackie Best Brumley was riding the camel with her friend when the animal appears to try to bite its handler.

“Be careful of the camel Lawrence,” she wrote in a post on Facebook. “It attacked the handler, biting him several times, stepping on him. Had him up against the fence.”

Brumley, who claimed the camel was foaming at the mouth, said it was tied back to the fence to be used for the next riders.

“There was something wrong with the camel but no one addressed it,” she added.

As of Tuesday morning, the video of the incident had been viewed nearly 11,000 times on Facebook.
