Indian elephant attack on Russian tourist caught on video (4 photos + 1 video)
And the woman was very lucky that she escaped with only a broken leg. 
An elephant attacked a tourist from Russia near the Indian city of Jaipur. The incident occurred on February 13, but footage of the attack by an angry animal has only now appeared online. It is noted that the woman was in a popular tourist destination - Amer Fort. Elephants, as you might guess, are used there to give rides to tourists.
Surveillance camera footage shows the elephant grabbing a woman with its trunk, spinning her in the air and throwing her to the ground. The tourist escaped with a broken leg, although the elephant could easily have trampled the woman. Luckily, the nervous animal hurriedly moved away instead. By the way, the rider was also injured; he fell from the saddle when the elephant was spinning around its axis, holding the tourist in its trunk.
The animal's name is reported to be Guri, a female elephant. The tourist did not provoke her, but Guri most likely got tired of everyday exploitation and lost her temper. According to experts from the organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), such behavior is typical for animals living in captivity. PETA is now demanding that Guri be sent to a sanctuary where she can “begin to recover from the mental trauma suffered during her time as a enslaved woman.”
"Elephants that have been chained, abused and threatened with weapons for years have been known to go on a rampage, raging with fear and depression," PETA Vice President of International Affairs Purva Joshipura said in a statement.

It is known that in 2022, Guri attacked a store clerk located nearby, breaking several ribs and a leg. PETA is calling on the local tourism industry to ditch elephants and replace them with small electric vehicles. And it's not just that animals are enslaved and often mistreated. PETA is confident that exploiting elephants will help reduce attacks on people. According to the International Fund for Animal Welfare, 400 people die from elephant attacks in India every year.
Tourists are offered to climb to the fort and move around it on elephants
