Two men get chased by an elephant

The clip shared online by @zimsa_1 shows the two men narrowly escaping the large animal's attack. The men were in a forest and began fleeing for their lives as soon as they saw the elephant. The elephant caught up with the gentlemen. As the video continued, one of the guys fell, and the large animal seized the man and started kicking him until he crawled down slowly into the bushes.
