Trainer attacked by Elephant at Ohio Zoo

Newly released video from Ohio's Toledo Zoo shows a 4,000-pound elephant charging a veteran trainer twice before knocking him to the ground. The attack left the trainer hospitalized in an intensive care unit with punctured lungs and several broken ribs.

Zoo officials said elephant manager Don Redfox, a 30-year veteran of the zoo, and the 7-year-old elephant named Louie may not have expected to see each other when Redfox entered the elephant stall on the afternoon of July 1, toting a bag of carrots.
