A leopard caused panic in Jalandhar as it went on the prowl for several hours attacking inhabitants before it was tranquilised.
Four people were hauled to the ground and bitten by the marauding feline who stalked the alleys and backstreets of the city of 800,000 people for more than six hours before it was caught.
Viral videos showed crowds gathering to watch the cat as it jumped at inhabitants in gardens on Thursday. It was also seen leaping across walls and pushed one man off a ladder as he tried to spread out a net to catch the animal. Those attacked all escaped serious injury.
Most of those hurt had been drawn to the area hoping to see the leopard and then became victims of its desperate attempt to escape the city.
