A woman from India has suffered serious injuries after fighting off a tiger to save her 15-month-old baby.
Archana Choudhary, from Madhya Pradesh, grappled with the tiger with her bare hands before villagers heard her cries for help and arrived with sticks and drove away the animal.
Local media reported the tiger had sunk its teeth into the baby’s head.
The attack took place on Sunday on the outskirts of the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve and both the mother and son are receiving treatment in hospital.
