Cut back in
Hello....
Suddenly, the bull cut back in our direction and began chasing us.
**********
Does the underlined part mean (A) change direction into our direction, or (B) reversed it’s direction into our direction?
The bull just changed its on-going direction or it reversed its direction, for example it was running into the opposite direction but suddenly about-faced and chased us?
Some dictionaries say “cut back in“ means reverse direction and some other dictionaries say it means “change direction”.
