A farmer from Jones, Oklahoma, suffered a fatal attack by two water buffaloes he had purchased the day before at a livestock auction, as reported by the police.

The Jones Police Department stated that on Friday, shortly after 10:30 p.m., they answered a distress call about someone being attacked by water buffaloes at a farm.

Upon the arrival of first responders, they found it challenging to assist the victim, identified as Bradley McMichael, due to the hostile actions of one of the water buffaloes.

In order to allow safe access to McMichael, officials shot and killed one of the water buffalo.

Detectives suspect McMichael became trapped inside the water buffalo enclosure while he was tending to his new animals.

Amy Smith, McMichael’s ex-wife, told television station KFOR  his passion was caring for livestock.

“The cattle farming, that’s his thing,” Smith told the station. “He’s been here his whole life, and he’s done that his whole life.

“So, he’s an experienced cattle handler and a farmer,” she added.
