The big cat can be seen charging towards the motorcycle and seems to be trying to grab on the rear wheel.

After a few seconds of chasing, the tiger darted back to the jungle, as suddenly as it first appeared.

Fortunately, the motorcyclists managed to escape and were safe despite the fact that tigers can run up to 65km/h. According to Daily Mail, the video was filmed at the edge of Nagarhole National park in southern India. It was reported that around 72 tigers live there.

Despite the terrifying ordeal, some Malaysian netizens, however, viewed the situation as one for humour and even related it to Maybank due to their tiger logo.
