Woman saves husband from tiger attack by beating it

A woman used a wooden soup ladle to save her husband from attack by a tiger in a Malaysian jungle.
Han Besau charged towards the animal screaming as she brandished the 'weapon' while it clawed at 60-year-old Tambun Gediu.
The 55-year-old woman used the spoon to beat the animal on the head - and remarkably it ran away.
'It would have clawed me to death if my wife had not arrived,' Tambun said as he recovered in hospital after an operation on lacerations to his face and legs.
Residents in the couple's village in Kg Sungai Tiang, 160 miles north of Kuala Lumpur, are hailing Han Besau as a hero who saved her husband from certain death.
Tambun told the New Straits Times that he was hunting squirrels for the family's evening meal when he came face to face with the tiger.
'I was trailing a squirrel and crouched to shoot it with my blowpipe when I saw the tiger,' he said.
'That's when I realised that I was being trailed.
'I tried to escape by climbing up a tree, but the tiger caught up with me and dragged me down.

'I was terrified and I used all my strength to punch the animal in the face, but it would not budge.'
Tambun told the paper that he wrestled with the tiger to try to keep its jaws away from him, but if his wife had not arrived with the soup ladle he would have been clawed to death.
