Lion attacks ringmaster during circus act in Ukraine
Instead of laughs and wows at a circus in Ukraine, people were filled with fear and screams after a lion attacked the ringmaster.
According to The Indian Express, the Lugansk State Circus in Ukraine recently launched a new show called 'Treasures of Egypt', and it was during this show that 32-year-old Egyptian trainer Hamada Kouta was attacked by the big cat.
Clearly irritated by all the stunts he was being forced to perform, the lion attacked and bit the ringmaster, pinning him on the ground and sinking his teeth into him!
