A RUNAWAY donkey has gone berserk in a biting and kicking rampage that left three injured after it leaped into a van.
Freddy the escape artist donkey sparked absolute chaos on Friday after he and his horse sidekick were spotted on the loose at a roundabout in Holssel, Germany.
When concerned motorists tried to secure the two equines, Freddy became “very aggressive”.
The unhinged animal then jumped into a van and launched a feral attack on two victims.
They were repeatedly kicked and bitten but managed to escape with only minor injuries.
A 33-year-old woman was hospitalised after being attacked while also trying to help.

The incident finally came to a close when Freddy’s owner arrived and managed to bring the unruly donkey under control.
German cops said: “The reason for the animals aggressive reaction is still unclear.”
Local media speculated that Freddie was attempting to protect his companion mare.
Veterinary authorities were notified after the incident south of Cuxhaven.
Freddy was eventually returned safely to his enclosure and locked away in his pen behind a chain-link fence.
Last year, another crazed animal incident shocked locals when a knife-wielding monkey went on a rampage through people’s homes.
A crazed capuchin terrorised a neighbourhood in eastern Brazil in a crime spree that lasted days.
More recently a berserk bison brutally attacked a tourist in Poland.
The beast in Białowieża Forest suddenly charged and sent the man crashing to the ground.
When the man desperately tried to get back up, the hulking bison swiftly swiped at him and shoved him down again.
The tourist was left with a deep gash on his calf and badly bruised and needed hospital treatment.
