BEIJING – One woman was killed and another was seriously injured after being mauled by tigers at a wildlife park in Beijing on Saturday.

Editor’s note: Some viewers may find the video disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.

Surveillance video captured the moment when two visitors got into a verbal argument while driving through the tiger enclosure at Badaling Wildlife Park.

A woman is shown exiting the vehicle and walking to the driver’s side when she is attacked by a tiger and dragged away.

A man and a woman jump out of the vehicle and chase after the tiger. The woman was reportedly attacked by a second tiger during the attempted rescue, according to NBC News.

The first woman was seriously injured but is expected to survive.

According to the park’s rules, all guests must keep their windows closed and doors locked while visiting the park. The zoo will remain closed during the investigation.
