Shriram, 40, a teacher in a missionary school in Bahraich, had the fright of his life when a leopard suddenly lunged at him.
Shriram was returning on Friday, when a leopard which had somehow escaped from the Kakraha wildlife range named Jeev Vihar, suddenly attacked near Pipra village.
As villagers gathered and raised a hue and cry, the frightened leopard ran away inside the jungle.
The injured teacher has been admitted to Mihinpurva Community Health Centre for treatment.
