They're one of the most beloved and affectionate animals in the world, but this footage shows just how dangerous elephants can be at times.
The video shows a young male that went on a rampage through the village of Khordha in India, where at least three people were injured as they tried to get out of its way.
The animal sparked panic as terrified villagers were forced to climb onto the roofs of their homes to find a place of safety.
The elephant ran around wildly and caused havoc as it attacked people and homes, damaged property and trampled bicycles and scooters, according to local media.
Footage captured by one of the villagers, who was hiding in a doorway, shows the elephant ploughing into a cluster of bicycles - sending some of them flying - as it runs around.
