India's tryst with wild animals roaming freely on streets continues.

In a popular biological park in the southern state of Karnataka, two lions last week attacked a safari vehicle. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

A phone video made the rounds on local television stations. It shows one of the lions trying to climb onto the car and bite its rear glass. The video was reportedly shot by a safari bus driver behind the targeted vehicle.

The park authorities have accused the driver of carelessness.

"He should never have stopped the car, which he probably did to please the visitors. We've removed him from safari duty," the executive director of Bannerghatta Biological Park told the Times of India.

BBP is among the chief tourist attractions of the state and is located 13 miles south of Bangalore, India's Silicon Valley.
