A wild elephant killed a villager in India's remote north-east while another of the animals chased fishermen in a swamp.

The elephant had been feeding near a bamboo grove when it suddenly turned and attacked a villager returning home on a bicycle on Friday night near Chakradeo, a village on the outskirts of Assam state's capital, Gauhati, said wildlife official S. Nath.

"Villagers reported the man shouting for help, and heard the loud trumpeting of the elephant at the dead of night on Friday. The body has been recovered by locals," Nath said.
