An elderly man and a biker escaped from the fangs of death after a striped hyena, a ferocious wild animal, sprang a surprise attack on them at Kharpudi village about 45 km from Pune city in Maharashtra (India) on September 6.
The elderly man carrying a bucket and accompanied by a dog was walking on the road along a thickly wooded area when suddenly the dog senses danger and backs away, while the hyena charged out of the bushes and started attacking him. Alarmed passersby jumped to his rescue, with a man armed with a stick started hitting the wild animal. The frightened hyena left its hold and escaped into the buses.
Earlier the same hyena attacked a man riding a bike claim the villagers.
In a twist to the tale, the hyena was later found dead by the villagers.
Deputy Conservator of Forests (Junnar Division) Jayaramegowda R said, “One elderly person and a biker were injured in the attack by a hyena in Kharpudi village. Attacks by hyenas are very rare. We came to know that the hyena was already injured when it attacked the two persons. The animal was found dead later. We believe that the irritation caused by the injury may have triggered the attack.”
