This is the terrifying moment an escaped pet lion cub attacked a boy in Thailand. The one-year-old lioness named Mahaesee pounced on Arthit Nueangnui, 11, after breaking free from her chains on the evening of October 4. CCTV footage shows the big cat charging down the street, sparking horrified shrieks from shocked residents in Kanchanaburi province at around 9:15 pm local time. Several boys ran as Mahaesee ran towards them before she knocked down Arthit, who screamed in pain as the beast sank her fangs into his side. But before she could tear into him, hero neighbour Sarawut Tokaeo, 43, rushed over and repeatedly bashed the lioness's head to free the boy. Though he managed to fend her off, the animal clawed at both of them before retreating to her owner, Parinya Parkpoom, 32, seen collecting the runaway pet from the nearby field. Both Arthit and Sarawut were taken to a hospital for treatment and are out of danger, authorities said. PACKAGE: Video, pictures, text
