Footage circulating online shows a sudden dash of a bull through an open‑air prayer space in Al Buraimi on Thursday morning.
Worshippers can be seen scrambling for safety as the animal barrels past, the scene turning chaotic within seconds.
Local reports say the bull escaped shortly before the Eid prayers began, but officials have not yet confirmed the full details or any serious injuries.
The incident unfolded during the Eid Al Adha gathering – one of the most important moments in the Islamic calendar when millions gather for communal prayers and the traditional animal sacrifices.
Al Buraimi, an oasis city on Oman’s border with the UAE, lies about 343 km from Muscat, the capital.
Online users shared the video widely, noting the sheer surprise of a bull in a religious crowd.
Authorities are expected to investigate how the animal got loose and to ensure safety at future prayer events.
