The group, residents of Simpang Kiri in Aceh province, on the northern part of the island of Sumatra, Thursday entered the densely forested Gunung Leuser National Park, where they were attacked by a group of tigers after they accidentally killed a tiger cub with a trap meant for deer.

A group of about 30 people Saturday went to rescue the five men after they used their cell phones to inform others of their predicament. The rescuers managed to chase the four tigers away, local police chief Dicky Sondani told The Jakarta Globe.
