In Madhya Pradesh, India, a group of people had an unfortunate encounter while attempting to attract a wild leopard for photographs. The incident took place in the central Indian state when the group, reportedly on a picnic, noticed the leopard in nearby woods and called it over, as reported by the Indian Express.
Initially, the group took out their smartphones and began to laugh and film as the predator approached. However, the mood quickly changed when the leopard sprinted towards them at full speed. One man, who was captured on camera, was chased and attacked before others were able to scare the animal away.
Three people were injured in the attack and were rushed to a local hospital. The severity of their injuries has not yet been disclosed.
Visitors are kindly advised to exercise caution and avoid the area due to the presence of potentially dangerous wildlife in the nearby woods and parklands.
