The video was uploaded by an Indian Forest Service Officer, Susanta Nanda, who often shares Asian wildlife content online.

He accompanies the footage with the warning: "You can't fool an elephant even though he is tamed.

"They are one of the most intelligent animals to be in captivity."

It is not known what happened to the unfortunate lady or how badly injured she is.

Understandably, people were concerned for the woman's wellbeing following the attack.
