For 4 hours, the wild animal terrorized the people who were in the government building.
On Wednesday, February 8, a leopard made its way into a courthouse in the Indian city of Ghaziabad, where it attacked and injured six people, including lawyers.
About this informs India Today.
According to eyewitnesses, the predator made its way to the first floor of the courthouse around 4:00 p.m. local time (at 1:30 p.m. Kyiv time), causing chaos and commotion. People ran in search of a safe place, and lawyers locked themselves in their offices.
The runaway awakened the leopard’s hunter instinct and it attacked several people, including a policeman and a lawyer, who tried to drive the beast away with a shovel and a stick. In total, at least six people were injured in the surprise attack.
