In a bizarre incident, a Pakistani man unleashed his pet lion on an electrician who had come to pick up payment for his work, local police said.
The police have arrested the man, who works as a caretaker to a place of worship, for setting loose his pet and not paying compensation to the electrician for treatment.
According to CNN, the incident took place in Shahdra area of Punjab province in early September.
