Beijing: A Chinese man has been awarded USD 83,000 in compensation over an attack by a wild panda last year that left him with serious injuries.

Guan Zhiquan was compensated after he sued the local government officials over the attack on March 1, 2014. The animal wandered into Liziba village, in the northwestern province of Gansu, where local officials trying to capture it chased it onto Guan's land, Global Times reported.
