Three mahouts were hospitalised after being attacked by an elephant in the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.

The elephant that was being treated at the Pinnawala Orphanage for some time, had turned violent and attacked the mahouts, it is reported.

The condition of the three mahouts are said to be serious.

According to reporters, the wild life officers and mahouts are still trying to control the stampeding elephant. (Rohan Kumara)
