WATCH: Leopard jumps over fence, injures 13 in Assam's Jorhat

Jorhat (Assam): Leopard attacks on humans have become a common sight in different states of India. The degradation in forest cover has forced these wild big cats to roam in human settlements, often leading to man-animal conflicts. In a horrifying incident from Assam's Jorhat, a leopard attacked 13 people including three forest officers. 

In a viral video, the leopard can be seen jumping over a house fence and attacking a car. It can be seen being chased on city roads by a vehicle. The video is from Monday (26 December).
