A white tiger attacked and killed a teenager on Tuesday at a zoo in the Indian capital, New Delhi, according to official sources and witnesses who were at the scene.

The hotel manager, Riaz Khan, said the boy “appears to have jumped over the fence and entered the space (where) tiger is,” according to the AFP news agency.

Television footage shows the boy backed against a wall, with the tiger facing him.

A witness said the teen was leaning over the railing when he fell into the area where the animal was found.
