The staff at a bank in central Israel received the shock of their lives on Monday morning when a bull walked into their branch.
The incident occurred at Bank Leumi in the city of Lod, and videos from the scene shared on social media show the staff try to chase out the bull using plastic cones.
The bull which escaped his owner - a resident of the city - was captured by cameras walking down the street, before entering the offices of the bank.
The bull was eventually chased outside the office after the owner of the animal arrived at the scene to restrain it.
The owner then called on the municipal veterinary services for their assistance.
