KATHMANDU (Reuters) - A three-year-old Nepali boy was rescued from the jaws of a leopard by his grandmother who wrestled with the animal in their back yard, police said on Monday. The leopard pounced on Khageswar Bhattarai while he was playing last week at their house in Suping village in the Pyuthan district of west Nepal, about 350 km (220 miles) west of Kathmandu. The child‘s grandmother in turn pounced on the leopard and wrestled the boy free, police said. „The granny fainted shortly after rescuing the baby,“ Sita Bhattarai, the boy‘s mother, told Reuters by phone. The boy escaped with scratches to the neck.
