Liquor store employee narrowly escapes leopard attackClose

CCTV footage from 20 July showed the moment a leopard entered a liquor store and attacked a salesman in Rajasthan, north western India.

Earlier, the animal had already attacked a cleaning worker inside.

Afterwards, the leopard hid near the counter so both employees managed to escape.

Others helped shut the shop, trapping the leopard inside.

After nearly five hours, officials tranquillised and captured the animal.

It was later released back into the wild, local authorities confirmed.
