A tiger was filmed on the loose in a Houston neighbourhood Sunday night — with one man pointing what appears to be a gun at the wild animal.

The big cat with a collar was roaming around the residential area on Ivy Wall Drive at about 8 p.m. when the unidentified, apparently armed man yells at another man to take the tiger inside, KHOU 11 reported.
Footage posted on Twitter shows a man pointing a gun at the animal and backing away as it slowly walks towards him. The man did not appear to fire any shots during the 40-second video of last night’s incident.

In another video, a woman shelters inside her home while watching the standoff.
“A freaking Bengal tiger is roaming in this yard and this dude needs to be careful,” the woman says. “What the heck? Why is there a tiger?”
The apparent owner eventually grabs the tiger and brings it back inside his home, photos show.

The incident was reported to the police. It was not immediately clear if any charges will be filed.
