Amother from the Indian state Madhya Pradesh chased down a leopard for almost a mile before fighting it to save her 8-year-old son.
The woman, Kiran Baiga, was working at around 7 p.m. local time on November 28 when a leopard snatched the boy, Rahul, who was sitting nearby. She saw the leopard run off and chased it for 1 kilometer (0.6 miles), News18 reports.
When she caught up to the leopard, Baiga found it with her son in its jaws, and it was holding him with its claws.
According to Granthshala India, Baiga struck the leopard with a stick and managed to free Rahul. The leopard then attacked Baiga and she grabbed its paw and pushed it away.
Other villagers then arrived at the scene and the leopard ran away into the forest, News18 reports. Baiga then lost consciousness and woke up in hospital.
Both Baiga and her son were injured in the attack and received treatment in hospital. Footage of the pair being interviewed has been shared online. Rahul appears to have suffered an injury to his eye, cheek and chin.
