Swedes told to beware drunk and disorderly elks
Swedish authorities are warning citizens to be on the look out for berry-intoxicated elks.
It follows an attack on a woman in the city of Karlshamn.
Experts say the animals are likely to get even more aggressive as they feast on the last of the summer berries which have fermented into potent alcoholic fruit.
"Some elks get very calm but others very aggressive after they've had alcoholic fruit, just like humans."
