Two wild elephants went on a rampage in a southern Indian city, killing at least one person.

TV footage showed the body of a man at the feet of one of the animals in Mysore. The footage also showed an elephant kicking a cow.

Experts were trying to tranquillise the animals and asked residents to stay indoors and not throw stones at them.
