That's when a tiger jumped from the bushes and attacked the child, clamping down on the baby's head. Choudhary leapt to the rescue, using her bare hands to fight the tiger off.

This scuffle went on for two minutes before villagers came running to her aid.

The mother and child were then taken to the intensive care unit. Choudhary suffered punctured lungs and deep wounds. The child suffered head injuries.

Both are expected to make a full recovery. The family can be seen recovering in the video below.
