An ‘agitated’ man has been mauled by a tiger after jumping into its enclosure at a Yorkshire zoo before the animal was ‘shot’ by staff.
Yorkshire Ambulance Service were called to the wildlife park at 1.33pm today following reports of the attack.
A ‘black screen’ has been erected around the tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster, which was evacuated and closed for the rest of the day.
Video footage shared on social media shows a man wearing a black sweatshirt kneeling on the ground with his arms out as the tiger attacks him from behind.
The Tiger then bites the mans back
