Creating a realistic Christmas nativity scene can be risky business, as everyone in a crowded Houston-area church learned.
A woman was injured after being kicked by a camel during a Christmas performance at Champion Forest Baptist Church. Video was shared on Facebook by our partner, Grizzy’s Hood News.
This happened during a holiday presentation that featured live animals, including camels.
In the video, you see the camel kick the woman with its hind left leg as it was led down the aisle.
Emergency responders took the woman to a hospital for treatment.
“This could’ve been very deadly y’all,” Grizzy said in a comment on the Facebook post.
An update confirmed that the woman was treated for her injuries has since been released from the hospital.
Camels can kick at speeds up to 40 mph, according to livescience.com. They also spit when they get annoyed.
Church officials have not publicly commented on the incident.
