A lion attacked a family of six while walking in a park in a California zoo, kidnapping a three-year-old boy from his neck, but the child's father managed to rescue him from the lion's fangs by a miracle, according to "Fox News".

According to the site, family members were walking in Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park in Lake Forest, California, when the accident occurred, as a three-year-old boy was walking in front of his father before suddenly a mountain lion attacked him.

The site showed that the lion that suddenly appeared picked up the child from his neck, but the father quickly hit him with a backpack, which made that predator get away with the little boy, takes the bag instead of him, and jumps to one of the park's trees.

The Orange County Fire Department said that the child was taken to a hospital, as doctors confirmed that his condition was stable, while park officials said that Assad had been killed later.
