Leopard breaks into court and attacks six people in bloody rampage

Fun VLOG February 08, 2023

A leopard broke into a courtroom in India and left several people injured.

Panic and fear seized the Ghaziabad District court premises in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, this afternoon when the bloodthirsty big cat barged in.

Chaotic footage from journalists and witnesses showed the leopard prowling around the court and attacking lawyers.

Video tweeted by Bharat Samachar reporter Lokesh Rai showed a victim with deep bite marks on his left forearm, while another cradled a cloth on his left ear as blood stained his shirt.

Wounded victims were rushed out of the courthouse, according to a clip from Laliy Tiwari, a digital expert for the Indian news channel Zee News.

Bystander video from inside the court showed three men walking through a corridor in the court – one holding some sort of weapon – before fleeing when appearing to spot the wild cat around the corner.

In the frightening footage, the leopard is seen with blood around its mouth as it snarls. Meanwhile, several men are seen fleeing the courthouse while dripping with blood after apparently being attacked by the wild animal. The shocking scenes were filmed at the Ghaziabad District Court in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh State, India, this afternoon (8 February). Witnesses said the leopard appeared out of nowhere and attacked those nearby. Around 15 lawyers were working in the courthouse at the time. Frightened workers scrambled for cover while lawyers barricaded themselves into offices to keep safe from the roaming big cat. The leopard reportedly injured a police officer and a boot polisher shining shoes on the court premises. The shoe polisher has been hospitalised with serious injuries, according to local media. The wild cat also mauled at least four lawyers, according to legal adviser Parvinder Nagar. One lawyer was ravaged by the beast while trying to fend it off with a shovel and a stick. Following the leopard attack, an ambulance crew took the injured workers to the hospital.

Animal welfare officials eventually managed to trap the leopard after four hours (Picture: Jam Press Vid/Rare Shot News)

The leopard tried to maul one of the men, who managed to knock the cat to the ground by striking them with the weapon and kicking them.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Abhishek Srivastav said per India Today: ‘Around six people have sustained injuries after being attacked by the animal, which is still on the court premises.’

Three have been taken to the hospital to be treated for their injuries.

Brave animal welfare officials managed to tranquilise the leopard and place them into a cage to put a stop to their rampage four hours after the break-in.

Videos showed the cat inside a cage in the gallery outside the courtroom growling at onlookers.

Police are now working with officials from the Indian Forest Service, a government service which includes wildlife preservation, to rescue the leopard.

The attack comes only weeks after two people – including an 11-year-old boy – were mauled to death in Mysore in India’s southwestern Karnataka state.

The body of the boy, named Jayanth D in the press, was found in a shrub on the outskirts of Horalahalli.

Two days before Jaynath’s death on January 22, a 60-year-old man identified as Siddamma was killed by a leopard in Kannayakanahalli near Horalahalli.

The leopard was trapped and moved to Bannerghatta Biological Park by forest officials, according to TV9 Kannada.
