CCTV footage from July 20 showed the moment a leopard entered a liquor store and attacked a vendor in Rajasthan, northwest India.

Earlier, the animal had already attacked a cleaning worker inside.

Later, the leopard hid near the counter so both employees managed to escape.

Others helped close the tent, trapping the leopard inside.

After nearly five hours, officials tranquilized and captured the animal.

It was later returned to the wild, local authorities confirmed.
