Police in Georgia say a tiger that broke loose after severe flooding at a zoo has killed one man and wounded another.

The Tbilisi zoo had previously said all lions and tigers missing after the flooding had been found dead and only one jaguar remained unaccounted for.

The Interior Ministry said police killed the tiger, which was hiding at an abandoned factory when it attacked the men on Wednesday.
