The amateur video shows Lucas Tomas, 22, being attacked by the animal. Tomas scaled a wall and jumped into the lion's pit, then began holding out his jacket as if it were a bullfighter's cape, challenging one of the two lions inside to attack him.
One of the lions reacted by pouncing on the man and knocking him to the ground, then biting him repeatedly.
Tomas was saved when a nearby policeman fired several shots into the air to scare the cat away, giving Tomas the chance to climb out. Tomas, who suffered minor injuries to his hands, arms and face, was taken to a local hospital
According to hospital officials, Tomas says he was ordered by voices from God to go in and taunt the lions.
