Several tigers attacked a sight-seeing bus at a zoo in Jinan, East China's Shandong province, hurting the driver and leaving 28 tourists on the bus extremely frightened.

Two Bengal tigers walked around the bus first, and then started biting the tires and dashing the windshield as four other tigers later joined the group. The driver's hand was injured, Shandong TV reported.

The scared 28 tourists, including five children, were rescued about 10 minutes later. They were offered cash compensations, including admissions refunds.

The zoo didn't provide an especially reinforced bus and the gatekeeper, the visitors said.
