Bengaluru: A 56-year-old woman was attacked by a leopard during a safari at the Bannerghatta Biological Park (BBP) on Thursday.

The victim, Vahitha Banu (56) suffered minor injuries on her hand after a leopard scratched it while trying to climb the safari vehicle.

The incident happened at around 1 pm on Thursday while the victim was on a safari in a non-AC bus.

“The victim sustained a minor injury to her hand when a leopard, while attempting to climb onto the bus, accidentally clawed her. She was immediately taken to the nearest hospital for first aid and was examined for any further injuries,” a statement by the BBP said.

Just three months back, in August, a 12-year-old boy was injured in a similar manner when a leopard attacked him and left scratches on his arm during the safari.
