A 10-year-old boy saved his father from being gored to death by jumping on a tractor to drive straight at an angry bull, the Daily Mail reports.

Tom Phillips watched in horror as the bull charged at his father Andrew – throwing him in the air on the family farm in Abergavenny, South Wales. Tom climbed onto the tractor and turned the key to drive slowly towards his dad lying under the fierce bull.

Tom carefully aimed for the animal worried he might crush his unconscious father under the giant wheels. He managed to nudge the bull away from his father – then ran back to alert his mother, Amanda.

An RAF rescue helicopter flew to the field to take barely alive Andrew to intensive care in hospital. Andrew survived and was allowed home two weeks later.

Amanda said: "He can be immensely proud of himself – he saved his dad's life."

10岁男童撞牛救父

       英国《每日邮报》报道,有头公牛发怒将一名男子撞飞后,他10岁的儿子驾驶拖拉机撞向了公牛,使父亲幸免于难。

       故事发生在南威尔士阿伯加文尼的家庭农场,公牛将父亲安德鲁撞向空中,儿子汤姆•菲尔普斯看到了这惊恐的一幕,他爬上拖拉机,打着火便缓缓开向凶猛的公牛,此时父亲还躺在公牛胯下。

       他非常仔细的对准目标,生怕巨型轮胎会压住父亲。成功将公牛撞到一边后,他冲回去告诉母亲阿曼达。

       英国皇家空军救援人员驾驶直升机奔赴事发地,将奄奄一息的安德鲁送往医院接受精心治疗。安德鲁最终逃过一劫,两周后出院。

       阿曼达说:“儿子应该感到无比自豪,他救了父亲一命。”
