Jaws of death: tiger kills man who fell into New Delhi zoo enclosure -- caught on video!
- 9 years ago
A young man in India was killed by tiger on Tuesday after falling into the beast’s enclosure at the New Delhi zoo.
Maqsood Khan, 20, decided to spend Tuesday afternoon at the New Delhi zoo and found himself fascinated by ‘Vijay’ a rare white tiger.
Witnesses say the young man slipped and fell, possibly while trying to take a picture. Zoo officials, however, said Mr. Khan may have been drinking and may have jumped into the enclosure.
Eyewitness said the tiger ran up to his uninvited guest before a tense, 15 minute stare down began as the animal sized up the situation.
Some say things might not have escalated had onlookers not tried to frighten the tiger by screaming at it and pelting it with rocks.
Finally, the tiger pounced on the unfortunate young man, using its powerful jaws to drag the man away by the neck as we see in the live video footage of the event.
Zoo officials say there were tranquilizer guns located some 350 feet from the tiger enclosure, but they were unable to get to them in time.
Locals criticized the zoo for its slow response to the fatal accident.
