A BRITISH woman was gored by a yak as she chatted on her phone while on a Mount Everest trek.
Emma Keen, 42, was left bleeding heavily after the animal's horn went "through her leg", leaving her with a three-inch cut needing 10 stitches.
She had been showing the yak to her brother as they talked on FaceTime when the furious animal suddenly charged at her.
The shop manager, who was on the fourth day of an 80-mile charity fundraising trek, said: "Without warning, I could hear the hoofs pounding towards me, a sharp stabbing pain in the top of my leg.
"It threw me in the air around a metre and I landed back down with a thud. Clutching my upper leg, I looked and the yak was dragging its hoof in the dusty ground ready to go at me for a second time with his horns down. I screamed and managed to raise my leg and shout."
