Musician narrowly escapes horse in Osmaniye music video shoot
Yaşar Öksüz, a security guard and musician in Osmaniye, Turkey, narrowly escaped being trampled by a horse during a music video shoot. Öksüz was filming a video for the song ‘Yaralı Yüreğim’, a piece written for him by his nephew.
During the filming, a horse reportedly mistook a camera pole for a stick and charged toward Öksüz. He managed to dodge the animal by reflex, avoiding injury. The incident was captured on film and gained attention after being shared on social media by the director. Öksüz expressed that while the event made him famous before the song's release, he is pleased with the public interest.
