Several hundred spectators got a surprise at a circus in Macedonia after a lion broke through a safety enclosure during a performance.
The incident occurred Sunday in Kavadarci, Macedonia.
The spectators fled in panic when the lion charged through metal fencing at the Hungarian circus Safari, according to circus officials and witnesses. Children were crying and some women even fainted, they said.
The lion was stopped using a tranquilizer gun, and two other lions were caged by handlers.
