An eight-year-old girl has been killed by a circus tiger in China after she slipped into an enclosed "animal training site" at Leheledu Amusement Park in the southwestern city of Chongqing.


State media reported that she died of injuries sustained from the tiger attack which occurred on Friday. She died in hospital.

She was visiting the circus with her relatives when she was attacked.


According to Chinese news agency, Xinhua, "a spokesman from the park said they have reached (an) initial agreement on settling the incident with the victim's family and vowed to beef up security measures”.


The incident comes after a zookeeper was killed by a tiger while cleaning out his cage in the financial hub Shanghai last December.
