A woman was mauled to death and another woman was injured after they were attacked at a wildlife park in Beijing, China.

CCTV video shows a tiger attack a woman after she got out of her cat at Badaling Wildlife World. The video then shows a man and a second woman coming to her aid.

Sky News reports that the second woman shown in the video was killed by the tiger before park staff could save her. The other woman is reportedly recovering from her injuries in a nearby hospital.
