BERLIN (AP) - A leopard attacked and killed a zoo worker who was cleaning its cage in the eastern German city of Chemnitz on Saturday, police said. The zoo director found the 23-year-old dead from a bite to the neck just after 9 a.m.
A door between the stall and an outdoor cage for the Persian leopard appeared to have been accidentally left open, police spokeswoman Jana Kindt said without giving further detail.
