Boy rescues brother from elephant

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: It was a narrow escape from being trampled by an elephant for the son of a non-resident Indian from the U.S., now here on a vacation. He is back home in Malleswaram, after a trip to the Biligiri Ranga Hills Sanctuary, recovering from a broken bone and severe bruises.

Vishnu Shriram (9) was attacked by the tusker near a resort on Friday.

Vishnu's father, "Karaoke" Shriram, a professional singer in Florida, said he and his family saw elephants standing beside the road and got down from their car to take a photograph.

His wife, Rajalakshmi, warned them as the elephant came slowly towards them. "Suddenly it attacked Vishnu with its trunk and he fell down. His elder brother, Subhash, hit it with a stick, before it could get its foot on the boy."
