A man walking on an unlit road was attacked by a leopard at Unit 31 in Aarey Milk on Thursday, the second incident of man-animal conflict in the green zone this week. The man’s injuries are not life-threatening, said doctors.

The big cat jumped onto Pintu Pandit, a local resident, around 7.30 pm. “I was walking towards the main road. The internal road passes through a forested patch. At that spot, I felt something had grabbed my hand. It was a leopard which disappeared into the bushes after I started screaming my lungs out,” said Pandit.
