Man Housing a Tiger and Alligator Is Bitten
From Times Wire Reports
A tiger and an alligator found in a Manhattan apartment were sent to an Ohio wildlife preserve while their owner recovered from bite wounds inflicted by the more than 400-pound cat.
Police said Antoine Yates, 31, would face reckless endangerment charges after he gets out of a hospital in Philadelphia, where he fled to after initially being treated in New York. He was listed in good condition.
A team of animal control officers, police and Bronx Zoo workers removed the animals from Yates’ apartment in Harlem.
