The video, filmed in Xichuan County in central Henan Province on November 22, shows an elderly man putting both his hands into separate cages to feed a lion and a tiger. However, the hungry tiger suddenly bit the man's hand after it finished the food and refused to let it go. An onlooker saved him by using a long wooden pole to hit the tiger. According to local reports, the animals were delivered to the town by a circus group for a performance. The man was sent to hospital for treatment.
