In Brief

A runaway donkey named Freddy entered a camper van in Geestland and attacked a couple, as well as a woman who tried to help. All three sustained minor injuries.

In the district of Cuxhaven (Lower Saxony), a runaway donkey named Freddy attacked people, including entering a camper van. The incident occurred on the morning of Friday, August 21, 2026, at a roundabout in Geestland.

A 59-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman had stopped in their camper van to catch the animal, but the donkey became aggressive: it entered the van, kicked and bit the couple. A 33-year-old woman who tried to help was also bitten, kicked, and knocked down. All three sustained minor injuries; the woman was taken to a hospital.

The donkey and a horse that had escaped with it were caught together with the owner. Police do not rule out that the donkey was protecting the escaped mare. The cause of the animal's aggressive behavior remains unknown.
