Leopard attacks Rajasthan liquor store cashier
A leopard prowled into a liquor store in Rajasthan, northwestern India, and proceeded to pounce on a panicked shopkeeper before roaming around the store, knocking over bottles of booze, CCTV footage shows.
Colleagues in the shop in Todaraisingh, Rajasthan can be heard shrieking in the dramatic video footage, before the wild cat suddenly lunges at 25-year-old worker, Sanjay Gurjar.
The cashier is seen wrestling with the fierce feline, before he manages to push it off, leap over the table, and flee. The leopard then moves through the store, knocking over bottles of spirits.
Just moments before entering the shop the animal reportedly attacked bystander Fateh Lal Koli, 40, while he was sitting outside the alcohol store.

Aftermath of the attack
Both victims of the attack are now receiving treatment for their injuries in hospital.
The feline, thought to be a five-year-old male, was tranquilised by a specialist animal unit, who are set to perform medical checks before releasing him back into the wild.
While many leopards live in Todaraising’s surrounding forests, they usually avoid human contact unless injured or threatened.
