"Hamerton Zoo has been evacuated as police and an air ambulance were called to reports of a tiger attack on a zookeeper.
Cambridgeshire Police confirmed they were called to the zoo in Sawtry at 11.15am today.
Emergency services and the zoo have dismissed reports a tiger escaped from an enclosure but have described the incident as "very serious".
It is understood a man was attacked by a tiger within an enclosure. It is not known if it was a visitor or a member of staff.
The park has closed for the rest of the day."
