At least 17 people were injured after two elephants became restless and stampeded down a street during a religious parade in Sri Lanka.
The incident happened during the perahera of the Kotte Rajamaha Viharaya temple -- the first procession of the Sacred Tooth Relic -- in Kotte, an area near Colombo, Sri Lanka's de facto capital and largest city. The elephants were part of the procession when one got distressed and began to get restless, according to local news source Adaderana.
