A two-year old Jewish child who was mauled by a tiger in Thailand is reportedly in stable condition and is due to be transported to Israel in the coming days.

The infant, who was on a family holiday to the island of Ko Samui, was reportedly attacked while visiting a local safari after the big cat slipped the leash of its handler.

The little boy, who was reported to have sustained “serious wounds” to his face before the animal was restrained, was immediately transported to a nearby hospital.

After surgery, doctors described the boy as being in a stable, non-life-threatening condition.
