Man halts charging elephant

An incredible video has emerged from Thailand of a man halting a charging elephant.

Navee Kittisak caught the terrifying scene on camera as the elephant charged out of the jungle towards his friend Tor Bowling.

Astonishingly, Bowling stands his ground and manages to scare the elephant away with a casual wave of his hand before smiling at his friend and continuing to take pictures.

Filmed at the Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary in February, the footage has only recently surfaced online
