According to local media such as NDTV and Times of India, a 33-year-old man waiting for a plane in the lounge of India's Indore International Airport was bitten on the back of his knee by a mouse that entered his pants on the 23rd (local time).
He, who was in the lounge with his wife, explained the situation at the time, "'Suddenly a rat crawled into his pants, and the moment he tried to catch the rat, he bit the back of his knee.'
Surprised, he took off his pants and managed to catch the mouse.
Passengers and airport staff rushed to his screams, but there were no rabies shots at the clinic at the airport.
Eventually, he was only prescribed tetanus injections and antibiotics at the airport, then boarded the plane and was only able to get a rabies vaccine when he arrived at his destination, Bengaluru.
Concerns have been raised locally about the sanitary conditions of the airport.
In particular, rats have been seen around food stands at Indore Airport in the past, raising criticism of repeated hygiene problems.
The airport said it fined pest control contractors and that an investigation is currently underway.
