Neo-Nazi mauled by lions at Barcelona Zoo

A NEO-NAZI has been mauled by lions after he jumped into their enclosure at Barcelona Zoo.

Dressed in military uniform, the man โ€“ named in local reports as Justo Jose MP โ€“ climbed into the enclosure and began scaling one of the walls.

But almost instantly he was dragged into the pit by the leg by a lioness, who was quickly joined by two others lions.

The 45-year-old was rescued around 30 minutes later, covered in scratches and bite marks, after firefighters used hoses to fight off the animals.

He was taken to the cityโ€™s Hospital de la Vall Dโ€™Hebron where he remains in a serious but not life-threatening condition.

The neo-Nazi demonstrator was arrested in November after draping banners covered in Swastikas over the Casa Mila building in an anti-abortion protest.

It is not yet known whether the incident at Barcelona Zoo was a demonstration, although firefighters insist it could not have been an accident.

Chief firefighter of the Bomberos de Barcelona, Hector Carmona, said: โ€œThe security system makes it impossible for a person to fall into the enclosure. It cannot have been by accident, to enter the enclosure you have to want to go in.โ€
