A mentally disturbed man was lucky to be alive after he climbed a fence and jumped into the enclosure of Bengal white tigers at a zoo in Chengdu, China on Sunday morning .

Yang Jinhai announced that he had decided to sacrifice himself in order to provide the Bengal tigers with support.

The 27 years old reportedly confronted the tigers, behaved erratically and danced around. The tigress was frightened enough by his exaggerated movements and ran off.

Eventually he was attacked by the male where he was cut after being scratched and bitten before he could be rescued by zoo keepers who fired a tranquilliser dart at the male tiger.

The tiger finally let Mr Jinhai go and zoo keepers pulled the him out of the cage.

One zoo staff member suggested that if the tiger hadn't eaten in two days, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

According to his family, Yang had been depressed for a long time and said that he had been taken to a home where he was given psychiatric counselling to cope with his problems.
