A mum heroically fought off a tiger after it attacked her 15-month-old son and clamped its jaws around his head. Archana Choudhary was taking her son Raviraj to the toilet outside their family home in Rohania village in the Umaria district of India when the horror incident took place.
The village is located nearby the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, with one of the big cats reported to have escaped, according to the Times of India. As Archana waited in the field for her son, the tiger pounced and locked its jaws around the toddler's head, according to the Mirror.
As the creature tried to bite at Raviraj's neck, the parent leapt into action and fought with her bare against the beast. Allegedly, the fight carried on for several minutes as the tiger made several attempts to snatch the youngster, but the determined mum retaliated by kicking and punching the animal in a desperate bid to save her son.
