The trampling comes just one week after a separate trio of runaway camels escaped a nativity scene at a Brisbane church and ran amok through the city.
The camels reportedly made their way out of the church Houdini-style, when they realised they could open the gate of the pen in which they were being kept and made a run for it.
The escapee trio journeyed across three Brisbane suburbs before they were caught.
