It knocked some of the people over and almost bundled into the stalls before disappearing around a corner.

It was illegally brought into the fair so a local could beg for money, it is understood.

It has become frightened by the fireworks at the fair and then ran amok.

Five people suffered minor injuries, including a mother and daughter.

It happened on Saturday (18 January) at the King Naresuan Stadium, in Phitsanulok, north of Bangkok, Thailand, as reported by Need To Know.

Livestock development officials caught up with the elephant a few miles away from the fair venue and took him to safety.
