A tiger has been shot dead after escaping from a circus in Paris.
It roamed the streets causing "intense panic" before it entered a train station in the 15th arrondissement of the city.
Terrified passengers heard the announcement: "A tiger is on the loose, please vacate the station".
One witness said: "There were people running and screaming. It was a very big, fierce looking animal."
Circus employees initially gave chase with a pole and piece of meat, but then told police to "use live bullets".
