A zoo director says one worker was killed and another injured when a tiger jumped a fence and attacked at the park in southern Vietnam.

Duong Thanh Phi says the workers were planting trees at the Dai Nam park in Binh Duong province Thursday when the tiger jumped the 5-meter (16-foot) electrified wall at his cage.

He says the tiger mauled a 47-year-old worker in the head and neck, and that the worker died on the way to a hospital. Another worker was injured in the attack.
