A rare Sumatran tiger has attacked a worker at the Topeka Zoo in Kansas

, wounding the back of her head and neck before other staff members were able to coax the animal away with food.

The victim, the primary tiger keeper at the Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center, was in the predator's outdoor habitat when she was attacked, zoo director Brendan Wiley said at a news conference. "There was some sort of error that occurred here," Wiley said, adding that the incident was under investigation."Some of our staff witnessed some things that you hope you go through a career without witnessing."

After about 10 minutes, other staff members were able to lure the tiger into an indoor pen using its food ration, Wiley said.
