The death toll from Hurricane Beryl rose to at least seven on Tuesday, as a total of three people were reported dead in Venezuela.
The hurricane is expected to make landfall in the Cayman Islands from Wednesday night into Thursday, with a hurricane warning also in effect for part of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
Now to Peru, where a runaway bull caused chaos among pedestrians and drivers in the streets of Santa Anita, a town to the east of Lima on Monday.
While no injuries were reported, security camera footage showed a bull charging against unsuspecting cars and pedestrians in the street, knocking over a cyclist.
Local authorities showed up soon after and captured the bull.
The owner who later appeared to retrieve him reportedly said he will pay for all damage caused by the bull.
