Authorities in South Korea are investigating a heinous crime, in which an elephant in a zoo is alleged to have thrown a stone at a woman's head.

The woman, identified only has having the surname Kim, was visiting the Children's Grand Park zoo in Seoul when, she told police, she saw the elephant picking up a stone with its trunk.

She then turned away from the elephant - only to be hit on the back of the head by a large stone.

She alerted the authorities to the alleged rock-flinging animal, a 35-year-old named Taesani, but upon investigating they found that the scene of the crime was not in range of the zoo's CCTV cameras.

'Though Ms Kim believes the elephant threw a stone at her, it's hard to conclude that the elephant attacked her since there are neither witnesses nor evidence,' a police source told the Dong-A Ilbo newspaper.

It's not entirely clear what action would have been taken if the police had been able to prove the elephant did throw the stone.
