Roy attacked by Tiger at the Mirage

By Zeke Quezada, About.com

Roy Horn of the Seigfried and Roy duo was attacked and seriously mauled by one of the performing tigers during the Friday Oct. 3 show.

The attacked occurred in front of the audience roughly half way into the show, as the seven-year-old tiger lunged at Roy and grabbed him by the neck. Witnesses say that the tiger then dragged his limp body toward the edge of the stage.

The show has been cancelled indefinitely.
