Scenes in São José do Rio Preto, Brazil  were reminiscent of Ballinrobe, County Mayo's SuperValu supermarket in 2009.

In Brazil this Wednesday a runaway bull found its way into a clothing store. The bull had escaped after a serious accident on the highway close-by. After an hour in the shop the bull escaped by ramming through the window display.

A group of men managed to lasso the bull with ropes as it crashed through the window.

David Nune, the store clerk, told TV Globo that he hid in the bathroom during the bull's visit. "I'm still scared," he said. "That sort of thing never happens."

A similar situation arose in County Mayo back in 2009. The video the bull rampaging through the SuperValu supermarket went viral.

The Ballinrobe bull had also escaped from its owner, this time on its way to the mart. After scaring some shop customers and giving the farmer quite a chase the bull eventually got to mart without having caused to much damage or, miraculously, any injuries.
