A lion prowled the streets of an Italian seaside city for a number of hours after escaping from an area circus, earlier than being sedated and captured. Alessandro Grando, the mayor of Ladispoli, close to Rome, had instructed residents to remain at residence on Saturday whereas police and circus workers sought to catch the animal. In a Facebook publish at round 10.30pm native time (9.30pm GMT), greater than 5 hours after his unique message elevating the alarm, Grando stated the lion had been “sedated and captured”.
