Jaw-dropping moment woman survives vicious leopard attack in India

Shocking footage shows the moment a woman barely survived an attack by a leopard in India’s Goregaon area yesterday.

The jaw-dropping video from Mumbai shows the lady sitting down as the wild cat slowly creeps up behind and attacks scratching at its victim, with the woman bravely defending herself with a metal rod.

The cougar attack luckily only lasts for a few seconds before the cat gets scared from being hit and runs off into the distance.

The woman was hospitalised with minor injuries.
