Passengers panicked as a charging wild tiger smashed the window of a car in northern China.

In the terrifying video, shot in the city of Mishan in Heilongjiang Province on April 23, a man and a woman in a car were heard shouting "run quickly" repeatedly as the motorist turned around to escape.

However, the tiger still caught up with them and used its paw to smash a window.

Another clip shows the tiger attacking another villager and knocking him over to the ground.

The villager was seen getting back on his feet by himself. Fortunately, he was not in life-threatening condition and he is having further treatment.

Workers from the relevant departments arrived and used a drone and other methods to block the tiger.

Police then used a tranquillizer gun to put the tiger to sleep. They will do a physical examination on the tiger on Saturday (April 24).

4月23日，黑龙江密山市白鱼湾镇临湖村发现一只大老虎。6时许，该村村民张守志最先发现并报警，当地相关部门赶到现场对村民进行疏散，等待林业部门来现场处置。经初步判定应该是野生东北虎。
老虎逃窜过程中，一辆汽车遭到东北虎近距离冲击，车窗被老虎一掌拍碎，“虎口逃生”的亲历者表示，开车时看到老虎在农田里跑，发现后马上准备掉头，但因为慢了一点就遭到东北虎袭击。东北虎把车窗拍碎后，追了他们几步后就返回农田。“当时真的非常害怕，所幸并未受到伤害”。
此外，一位村民被逃窜到农田的老虎扑倒，幸亏有附近村民开车对老虎进行驱赶，老虎仓皇逃离后，受伤村民自行站起。据悉，遇袭村民无生命危险，目前正在接受进一步治疗。
搜捕持续，工作人员已通过无人机等方式，拉线布控将老虎锁定在临湖村二组范围内进行合围，等待麻醉枪到达现场。
21时许，黑龙江密山市进村老虎已被警方麻醉枪击中后带走。一位知情人透露，老虎体重约有四五百斤，警方用麻醉枪开了4枪后又补了一枪，预计明天将对老虎进行体检。（视频由黑龙江台提供）
