A five-year-old boy was attacked by a mountain lion during a family picnic this past Sunday at Malibu State Creek Park in Calabasas, California. The mountain lion grabbed the boy by the head and started to run. “The father grabbed the mountain lion with his hands, and he just fought. Then the mountain lion let go” the victim's aunt explained.
About 40 onlookers watched the terrifying encounter. The boy sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to Northridge Hospital Medical Center. Despite being released, he had to return to the hospital for complications with his eye injuries. The mountain lion was found near the picnic area and euthanized due to the threat it posed to public safety.
