A tiger recently attacked a car and ripped off its bumper at the Beijing Badaling Wildlife Park. The incident occurred at the same exhibit where one woman was fatally mauled, and another severely injured, by a Siberian tiger on July 23, People's Daily reports.

In the latest attack, a video shows a tiger sitting on the road, in front of the car. The tiger then paces along the side of the car and then effortlessly rips the front bumper off of the car using its jaws. The animal drags the bumper into a tree-covered area and proceeds to chew on it.

However, a woman was fatally attacked by a tiger last month after she exited her vehicle in the same park. As the woman was being dragged off by a tiger, a male and female passenger then exited the same vehicle in an effort to help. The second woman was then mauled to death by another tiger. The first woman suffered serious injuries from the tiger attack.

It is reported that similar incidents have previously occurred at the park, including the death of a security guard who was mauled by a tiger in 2014.

It was reported that the exhibit had been temporarily closed following July’s fatal mauling. However, it appears to have reopened.
