Woman feared for her life during bull attack on beach

A WOMAN attacked by a bull on Sligo’s Mullaghmore beach thought she was going to be killed by the animal.

Sonya Byrne, from Enniskillen, was out walking with her 11-year-old son Patrick and their dog when she was attacked by a Charolais bull who charged her from a herd of cattle on Sunday night. “It was the dog he was after I think. He gored me in the back and then just walked over me. I really thought I was going to be killed.”

She said she was grateful the animal had not attacked her young son Patrick.
