Lion wanders streets of Italian town after escaping from circus [View all]
A lion prowled the streets of an Italian seaside town for several hours after escaping from a local circus before being sedated and captured.
Alessandro Grando, the mayor of Ladispoli, near Rome, had told residents to stay at home on Saturday while police and circus staff sought to catch the animal.

In a Facebook post at around 10.30pm (2130 GMT), more than five hours after his original message raising the alarm, Grando said the lion had been “sedated and captured”.
