A woman was killed by a tiger and another injured after the pair got out of their vehicle at a China safari park over the weekend.

According to local reports, the woman, who has not been identified, got out of a car at the Beijing Badaling Wildlife World following an argument with her husband, International Business Times reported. 

In surveillance video captured of the incident, the woman is seen getting out of the vehicle and walking to the driver’s side. As she stands by the door, a tiger runs out of the woods and drags her away.

In the video, the driver and a second woman frantically jump out of the car and run after the tiger.

The second woman was killed by a tiger as she tried to help the young woman, theLegal Evening News reported. 

The first woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Visitors are prohibited from getting out of their vehicles at the park, which is located near the Great Wall,  according to AP.

 The Yanqing County government said in a statement that officials are investigating the incident.
