A tiger caused mass panic on
the streets of Sicily after escaping from a travelling circus early on Saturday
morning. The predatory beast escaped its captors in Monreale, Palermo where it
rested outside what appears to be a kitchen shop for a number of hours.
Although some locals ran for cover others from the safety of their flats can be
seen (on the left) posing for selfies from their balconies with the marauding
beast in the background below. A special police force deployed to recapture the
animal considered using tranquilsers to sooth the tiger but decided to use a
cage instead before returning it to the circus. Monreale Mayor Piero Capizzi
said at first he thought someone was joking when he was told a tiger was on the
loose.
