NYPD spokesman Paul Browne says the 25-year-old man deliberately climbed over two fences to reach the enclosure. The attack occurred Friday at about 3 p.m. in a fenced enclosure at the zoo. Browne says the tiger attacked him before being pulled away by zoo personnel.
The victim was hospitalized in critical condition. His name was not released.
The zoo did not immediately respond to a request for information about what had happened.
DNAinfo.com is reporting The man told those who rescued him that he jumped in on purpose because “he wanted to die.”
Of all the ways to kill one’s self, that’s his plan?!
What an idiotic thing to do.
Aren’t there less painful ways to commit suicide???
An idiot will be an idiot. A tiger will be a tiger. When the two meet, there’s meat.
He was a kind man, and thought that while dies, another animal may as well have a benefit from him, and in the same time, no kever is needed, no cemetery, no expenses at all…
I hope they don’t kill the tiger
Great PUN! lol
The tiger B”H forgot its hunting skills in captivity…
