A Perthshire farmer was taken to hospital after being hit in the chest by a cow.
Paramedics were called to Middleton Farm in the Balbeggie area following the incident, which happened at around 11am on Friday.
The farmer, named locally as Kerr Sands, is understood to be in his 70s.
The Scottish Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) rapid response unit was called to the farmhouse, which is situated on the outskirts of Balbeggie, to attend to the man. However, it is understood they were not required.
One concerned neighbour said ambulance staff were present at the house for around 30 minutes before Mr Sands was taken to hospital.
The neighbour said: “We didn’t know what had happened.There was somebody taken out the house so we thought something might have happened in there.
“We saw the ambulance come by and it was at the house for quite a long time. It must have been around half an hour.”
A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service confirmed he suffered a chest injury but was not in a life-threatening condition.
He said: “A local ambulance crew attended Middleton Farm in Balbeggie.A man in his seventies was injured after a cow ran into him.
“The casualty was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.”
Family members at the farm declined to comment.
Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance new upgraded rapid response vehicle, the Skoda Octavia 4×4, is set to become a familiar sight at emergencies within a five-mile radius of the Scone air base.
SCAA lead paramedic John Pritchard said the vehicle is another vital asset in the team’s fast reaction life-saving capabilities.
He said: “The new bespoke car gets paramedics rapidly to emergencies within the local area allowing early clinical assessment and intervention.
“The interior has also been customised for our specific needs, creating the perfect operational road partner for SCAA paramedics and a highly effective emergency response service for the critical care of patients.”
