<p>A rodeo bull triggered mayhem in the US state of Oregon after it jumped a fence in an attempt to escape the arena. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident took place during a rodeo event in Oregon on Saturday evening (June 8) when the bull hit the spectators in the crowd, injuring at least three people.</p>

<p>"I capture him completely going over the gate and disappearing," one of the spectator in the crowd Danielle Smithers, who witnessed and captured the ordeal, told KOIN 6.</p>

<p>"Then there’s this huge pause in the zone he came out of. It seems like people go right back to waving their lights, almost like they’re not really sure what to do."</p>

<p>The Sisters Rodeo Association released a statement on Sunday (June 9) saying that at least three people were wounded “as a direct result of the bull, two of whom were transported to a local hospital," reported local media outlet KTVZ-TV.</p>
