A 20-year-old man from Kabartonjo in Baringo County was on Tuesday evening taken to hospital after he was attacked by an elephant on the loose.
Daniel Chesire was attempting to take a selfie with the jumbo, when it charged at him.
The elephant had reportedly escaped from a nearby conservancy and pitched camp in one of the homesteads in Tanyilel area in Baringo North.
The wild animal also killed a cow and destroyed crops and a fence in its moment of rage.
Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers arrived at the scene Tuesday afternoon and drove out the elephant.
