Circus Lion Attack Caught on Tape

Video taken following an initial attack on Ukrainian lion tamer Oleksie Pinko shows the trainer trying to keep the lion at bay with a steel rod. The video shows the lion roaring, lunging and striking, and another lion joins in, biting down on the trainerapos;s left arm. Circus workers quickly attempted to hose down the angry lions, separating them from their prey. The crowd, including Shepherdapos;s own two children, scream in terror.
