Shocking footage has emerged showing the moment a circus trainer was mauled by a lion during a live show in Egypt, leaving him with fatal injuries. Trainer Islam Shaheen, 35, was filmed motioning at a lion with a stick as another lion climbed up a ladder during the performance in Alexandria.
At that moment, a third lion launches a savage attack on the trainer, rearing up and biting him in the neck as watching children scream in terror.
Other trainers rushed to try and help Shaheen, lying helpless on the ground, by poking the lion with sticks.
As the music cut out abruptly, the only sound was the screams of the panicked crowd fleeing in fright.
The shocking video comes a year after another female lion tamer in Egypt was mauled by one of her animals.
Footage showed Faten El-Helw prancing around the ring and waving to her adoring fans when the big cat suddenly jumped from its stool and lunged at her. As the panicked audience jump to their feet screaming, the lion tamer was pinned to the ground and bitten in the shoulder.
