Tigers at a wildlife park in Beijing have killed one woman and injured another after the pair left their vehicle, Chinese media have reported.<\/p>\n
CCTV published footage of the incident showing one woman getting out and standing beside the car before quickly being attacked and dragged away.<\/p>\n
The second woman was killed when she jumped out to try to help and was herself mauled by another tiger.<\/p>\n
Some reports said an argument had led to the first woman leaving the car.<\/p>\n
A man, who was in the car with the women and also attempted to help, was unhurt.<\/p>\n
Visitors to Beijing Badaling Wildlife World are allowed to drive their own vehicles around the park but are warned not to get out in areas open to wild animals.<\/p>\n
Video of the incident suggested park rangers in a vehicle were on the scene within seconds, but they were unable to save one of the women.<\/p>\n
The Yanqing district government said the woman who survived was receiving medical treatment, without giving further details.<\/p>\n
Park officials have declined to comment, saying only that the facility is closed because of forecasts for heavy rain.
