Madrid- A circus tiger in south-western Spain ripped off a visitor's arm, police said Sunday. The 31-year-old visitor from Poland had visited the circus in the town of Zafra with a compatriot to inquire about a job.

While his friend talked to the circus authorities, the Pole entered a zone closed to visitors and tried to take a picture of the big cats, but got too close to the cages and was attacked.
