A woman in Chiang Mai, Thailand has been thanking her lucky stars after a dangerous encounter with a wild buffalo that somehow found (broke) its way into the electronics store she was working at.
In a TikTok video she posted under the handle @thanya292524, the store's CCTV footage shows her walking around the store, busy with something on her phone.
Before she can take her eyes away from the screen, a wild buffalo appears – almost like a Pokémon.
The video (which initially looks quite distressing), shows the wild buffalo breaking through the electronic store's glass doors, causing a loud ruckus as it knocks down all the product shelves in its path, bulldozing the woman along the way.

The woman's quick thinking (and perhaps a sudden burst of adrenaline) made sure she got herself out of harm's way, running to the back of the store. She can also be heard shouting for a colleague.
Thankfully, she didn't sustain any serious injuries – only minor scratches and bruises from the initial impact of the charging buffalo.
"What's up? Where are you injured?" asks one TikTok user reacting to the video.
"Sore throughout my body," she replies. "Thanks for your concern."
This isn't the first time wild animals have found their way into spaces inhabited by humans.
Back in April, a giant monitor lizard waddled its way into a 7-Eleven convenience store in Bangkok, with video footage of the encounter showing the reptile climbing up a milk shelf.
Bystanders and people reacting to the video online suspected it was just looking for a place to cool off amid the intense heat outside.
In June, an Asian elephant literally bored a hole in the wall of someone's home in Kaeng Krachan National Park.
Conveniently, that hole led to the homeowner's kitchen, where the presumably hungry elephant started rummaging for food.
However, both those encounters pale in comparison to what this Thai university student had to go through while using the toilet in his Nonthaburi home.
We often look at the 'porcelain throne' as our own safe space, away from the stresses of everyday life. A place where we're left to our thoughts, in peace and quiet.
Dude got his penis bit by a snake that crawled up from the toilet. Ouch.
Have you encountered any wildlife in places they're not supposed to be?
