A scary video that is viral on social media right now shows an Indian man getting caught by a tiger and how he managed to escaped death.

In the video, you can see the man lying stiff like a dead man in the middle of a field as the tiger sat over him.

The video was captured by men from a village in Bhandara, Maharashtra, on Sunday.

The video shows the man being chased around a field as villagers stood at a distance.

Later in the video, the massive tiger leaped across and pinned the man down as the villagers watched in horror.

After being pinned down, the man became motionless and the tiger can be seen sitting over him.

In the video, you can also hear other men and villagers shouting to stop recording the man and other people saying charge towards the tiger.

Instead of just watching, other villagers started to grab stones and threw them towards the tiger.

A hard rock that hit the tiger forced it to let go of the man and run away in towards a different field.

The video was shared on social media by Parveen Kaswan, an Indian Forest Service Officer.
