A wolf attacked an eight-year-old girl at a wildlife park near Baruth, Germany, on Wednesday morning.

The park, called Johannismühle, is south of Berlin and keeps grey wolves, Arctic wolves, brown bears, and lynx. It offers small group tours where visitors can feed wolves and pet other animals. The park closed after the attack and was due to reopen on 2 November. Police have opened an investigation into how the attack happened.
