This shocking incident left three people injured.

The horrifying video showed the moment the leopard pounced out of the trees in a park on 20 October.

This predator jumped on its first victim, reportedly named Akash Kushwaha, 23, as one man was seen falling to the ground, according to the Times of India.

As this man was mauled, another person was seen running away from the leopard and the fallen man.

A group of around four men then rushed back to help the injured victim.

The video abruptly ended after the leopard moved away from the park-goers.

An off-duty police officer and a woman were also attacked by the predator, according to local media.

These two victims reportedly sustained major head injuries in the incident, per the Times of India.

Before the attack, the group was heard calling out to the animal as they shouted “come, come.”

Their laughter turned into horrifying screams as the predator pounced out of the trees and at the group.

Other members of the crowd sustained minor injuries during the mad rush away from the animal.

This horrifying video has not been the only animal attack to recently be caught on camera.

A 23-year-old man, Takuma Goto, believed he was “going to die” after he was assaulted by a dolphin.

Goto was the latest victim of Japan’s recent sex-pest dolphin issue.

The victim sustained major bite marks across his body.

Goto had to be hospitalised and received five stitched after he suffered a bloody cut to his finger.

This comes as experts revealed several of these attacks have been linked back to dolphin named Suzu.

Suzu has been blamed for 18 incidents this year and has been known to chase visitors in the water in the hunt for love.

Another shocking video showed the moment a group of vengeful tourists took on a shark after it mauled a tourist.

The cruel shark hunters repeatedly hit the shark on the head after a visitor was left with huge wounds to his torso and right leg in resort town of Tela in Honduras, Central America.

American Airlines tests new boarding system with ‘alarm’ to make sure passengers follow rule

AMERICAN Airlines is trying out a new boarding system that could be a feature at US airports in the future.

The new initiative cracks down on eager passengers who try to get on the plane before their seat numbers and sections are called.

Those who scan their boarding passes too early will be met with an alarm, as reported by Travel and Leisure.

Then, they must wait until terminal staffers tell them it’s time to board the plane.

So far, the concept is being trialed at Albuquerque International Airport in New Mexico and Tucson Airport in Arizona.

One passenger flying out of Albuquerque said some travelers tried to board the plane early but were met with an error sound, according to a Reddit post.

They said the gate agent ordered them to “step aside” as they weren’t due to board.

The program will be tested at Ronald Reagan Washington Airport in Arlington, Virginia.

But airline chiefs hope to expand the program in the future.

And bosses are optimistic about the impact this new system will have on travelers.

“The new technology is designed to ensure customers receive the benefits of priority boarding with ease and helps improve the boarding experience by providing greater visibility into boarding progress for our team,” a spokesperson told Travel and Leisure.

The new system has been welcomed by travelers online, with some saying it is “overdue.”

Others pointed out that the only passengers who will have a problem with it are those who try to board flights early.

Travelers have now called on airline carriers to crack down on those who put several items in the overhead lockers.

The U.S. Sun has approached American Airlines for comment.

BOARDING CHANGES

American Airlines is not the only company making changes to its boarding process.

Delta bosses have rolled out a new boarding system based on zones numbered one to eight.

First-class passengers are in Zone 1, while Delta Comfort travelers board in Zone 3.

Basic economy passengers are the last to board the plane, according to a chart released by the company.

A spokesperson said the change was designed to make the process more streamlined.

But, experts have questioned the purpose of the new system.

“They’re not changing who boards when or the sequence,” Professor John Milne told CBS News.

Southwest Airlines bosses hit the headlines when they announced the company would be ending its open-seat boarding policy.

Chiefs admitted that 80% of passengers prefer an assigned seat.

Steam Deck’s Valve says it won’t do mid-gen refreshes despite releasing six different models

PLAYSTATION has just announced the PS5 Pro, a mid-gen refresh that will be launching in November.

It’s not unusual for companies to release new models of consoles after the original release.

PlayStation has the PS5 Slim, and soon the PS5 Pro, while Xbox launched two original models, with three more Xbox Series X|S models released since then.

Nintendo Switch has the Switch Lite and the Switch OLED as a cheaper and more premium version of the original.

Gamers see these different model releases as normal. Some wait for newer models before taking the plunge, and others upgrade as soon as a new model is on the market.

In an interview with Reviews.org, Steam Deck designer, Lawrence Yang, spoke about Valve’s stance on releasing new console models.

He said: “It is important to us, and we’ve tried to be really clear, we are not doing the yearly cadence.

“We’re not going to do a bump every year. There’s no reason to do that. 

“And, honestly, from our perspective, that’s not really fair to your customers to come out with something so soon that’s only incrementally better. 

“So we really do want to wait for a generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life before we ship the real second generation of Steam Deck

“But it is something that we’re excited about and we’re working on.”

Despite this, there has been a new model of Steam Deck since its original 2022 release.

There were three original models, which had smaller storage capacities and an LCD screen, compared to the newer versions that have a brighter OLED screen.

Three OLED models were also released, and you can tell which model you own as the newer models have a red power button.

Steam Decked out

I find these comments from Valve odd, particularly given that the company has released six different Steam Deck models in just over two years.

In fact, Valve has released more versions of its console than the other big three console developers and in a shorter time frame.

Perhaps Yang is expressing that going forward there will not be any more yearly releases, despite having done this until now.

I do agree that pumping out new console versions isn’t fair to customers, but Valve will have to show it practices what it preaches going forward.
