A lioness has mauled a 19-year-old man to death after it was released from its cage for a TikTok video.

The big cat was let out on a private wildlife farm in the town of Kahna in Lahore, Pakistan, on Wednesday with the aim of filming social media content.

But once out of its cage the predator reportedly became erratic before it savagely attacked a farmhand, known only as Talha, in front of his family.

After the attack, the teenager was rushed to a private hospital where he later passed away from his injuries.

Police have since arrested the farm's owner and the TikToker – known online as Nouman Hassan – who visited the farm to film the deadly stunt.

A third individual was also arrested in connection to the incident on the farm.

Lahore Police said that a 'passion for TikTok' is not more important than putting a human life at risk 'in the name of hobby or entertainment.'

The young man's father and brother who both worked on the wildlife farm reportedly witnessed the fatal attack take place.
