'Her face was just covered in blood': Mom of toddler hurt by runaway bull talks

NEW YORK -- The mother of a 2-year-old girl injured by a bull on the loose in Brooklyn is speaking out exclusively to Eyewitness News about the harrowing ordeal.

Catherine McRae says she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, as the charging bull flipped her stroller before they could get out of the way.

Watch some highlights of a loose bull that roamed through Prospect Park in Brooklyn Tuesday.

"We were on the sidewalk, I heard someone yell, 'Run,'" McRae said. "The cow kind of hit between us, between me and the stroller, and just knocked the stroller completely over, right on top of her and upside down."

McCrae said she runs with the stroller every day in the park and was getting ready to leave when she encountered the animal. Her daughter suffered a cut inside her lip, bruised lip and nose, and a few scratches on her hand.

"Luckily, she was strapped in," she said. "(The bull) kept running, into traffic. I heard it hit a car. A car hit it. People, like, everybody stopped and came running."

Mom and daughter spent about an hour and a half at the hospital.

"I had that terrifying moment where her face was just covered in blood," she said. "And I just kept wiping blood away. And you fear the worst when you're a mom. It's like, you see your child's blood, and you just get terrified."
