According to local media such as Ahram Online, a tiger attacked a male member during a circus performance in Tanta, about 100 kilometers from the Egyptian capital Cairo, on the 1st (local time).
During the performance, a member outside the cage put his arm inside, and at the moment a tiger bit and shook his arm. At that time, the audience of the performance screamed and was confused when they saw it.
Several other circus members rushed in and hit the tiger with a stick to remove him from the man, but to no avail.
After a long haggle, the tiger backed down, but the member who bit his arm was in a serious situation.
He was taken to a nearby university hospital, but doctors said he had no choice but to amputate his arm. After four hours of surgery, he passed the dangerous situation but lost his arm.
Prosecutors later ordered all circus teams in the area to stop their activities.
Investigators will also be sent to investigate the conditions of all the animals in the nearby circus group, it said.
