Villagers confront escaped leopard on rooftop in India

A leopard burst through the roof of a house in western India Monday, biting one man before fleeing.

Video shows the cat emerge through the roof tiles of a home after being spotted by locals in Ballarpur, Maharashtra.

Frightened villagers made a quick retreat, but one man wasn’t fast enough and suffered a nasty bite from the animal.

The leopard jumped from roof to roof before leaping down to street level, where it found refuge in the bathroom of a hut.

India’s Forestry Department eventually caught the animal and plans to release it into the wild.
