Circus lion bites off 10-year-old boy’s arm in east China
A lion attacked a 10-year-old boy visiting a circus in eastern China, biting off his arm through the bars of its cage, state media said Monday.
The boy was looking at the lion Saturday at Wanfota Park in Mengcheng, a county in Anhui province, when the feline lunged and grabbed the boy with its paws, the Xinhua News Agency said.
“Park workers managed to pull the boy away, but his left arm had been torn away by the animal,” Xinhua said.
The reason behind the attack was not immediately clear. Doctors at the No. 1 People’s Hospital operated on the boy, Xinhua said.
