This is the terrifying moment a lion suddenly attacked a circus trainer in front of a large audience of children and parents in Ukraine.
The crowd screamed in fear as well-known Hamada Kouta was overpowered by an irate big cat which sank its teeth into his arm and clawed him.
A video shows how the 32-year-old was floored by the beast which suddenly turned aggressive in the ring.
His arm, leg and back were mauled and clawed before he managed to fight the animal off.
