The elk attacked the 8-year-old as he played in the garden of his home in the town of Karlskoga in central Sweden. The youngster was badly shaken but escaped serious injury, suffering only a bruised neck. Elks, common in sparsely populated Sweden, are normally shy but can become aggressive when they eat rotten apples, a favorite winter snack that can make them drunk.
