Elephant with badly broken leg limps across road on three legs without any pain relief

Witnesses who spotted the animal wincing in pain are calling on officials to track down the wild animal so it can be taken for treatment.

This is the heartbreaking moment a young elephant was spotted dragging its badly broken leg around as it suffers without any pain relief.

The 'baby Dumbo' has reportedly been spotted numerous times, clearly in agony, as he limps on his three good legs - but nobody seems to be in a rush to help him.

In the last sighting, the elephant was filmed trying to cross a road with his broken front left leg, wincing as he places any weight on it before scurrying back into the woods.

The enormous creature had been spotted a number of times carrying the injury near forests in Karnataka, India.

Residents are now appealing for the local forestry officials to find the elephant and send it to vets for treatment.
