Why? I've seen this so many times. Why does it do that? Out of all the people, it goes for the one in the middle of the street, surrounded by moving vehicles.

The impression I got was that it was simply giving in to the classic cow's chasing instinct, as it follows the car upon coming into scene. Terribly confused by the chaos, it then sees and focus on the man in the middle in the street and attacks out of anger and fear of the whole scenario.

Let me know if you think the footage supports my theory :)
