Tiger attacks trainer in front of school children at US fair
A female trainer has been attacked by a tiger in front of a group of school children, with the entire terrifying ordeal caught on camera.
The trainer, Vicenta Pages, was inside the tiger’s pen at the Pensacola Interstate Fair in Florida on Tuesday this week.
The tiger, named Ghandi, can be seeing lunging toward the trainer before it latches onto Ms Pages’ leg and drags her across the pen.

Ms Page can be heard calling for a second trainer in a panicked voice.
The second trainer attempts to fend Ghandi off before Ms Pages becomes free and the tiger jumps away.
“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Ms Page said, before the video stops.
The show has been cancelled for the rest of the fair’s duration.
