A tiger bit an elderly man's hand and refuses to let go of it for three minutes - after he put his hand in its cage.

The OAP, who passed out in agony, was trying to feed the circus big cat, which was sprawled within its cage in Nanyang City, China.

Mobile phone footage shows the pensioner curiously standing in front of three tiger cages.

A travelling circus had parked their animals in a public square while preparing for an evening show.

The curious pensioner grasped on to two cages, deciding on which animal to feed.

But suddenly the tiger on his right bit down on to his hand.

The poor victim’s right hand was left bloodied and badly mangled, and he was later taken to hospital for treatment.

While he is expected to survive his injuries, it is unclear whether the man will suffer any long-term effects from the ordeal.
