Kenyan wildlife rangers have shot dead a male lion that had wandered out of Nairobi National Park and attacked a person.
The lion entered the village of Isinya at about 40 kilometres south of the capital, where a crowd gathered around it and it slightly injured one person, Kenya Wildlife Service spokesman Paul Gathitu said.
A veterinary team had been called to sedate the lion, so it could be brought back, but they did not arrive before the situation became "chaotic" and rangers shot the animal, the spokesman said.
Nairobi National Park, which is not entirely fenced, has more than 30 lions.
Another lion left the park in March, injured one person, then found its way back to the park.
