Angry bees attacked in the French city of Aurillac for half an hour on Sunday morning and injured 24 people.

Three of them sustained life-threatening injuries, according to local authorities. Firefighters and healthcare personnel rushed to the scene to help the stung, while the police cordoned off the area until the bee attack was over. The three seriously injured people were taken to hospital.

The bees' aggressive behavior is said to have been triggered by Asian giant hornets threatening beehives set up on a hotel's roof terrace in the city.
