A NYC police officer comes face-to-face with Ming, a 350 lb tiger secretly living in an apartment.
Ming resided semi-publicly with his owner, Antoine Yates, in a room within Yates' five-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of a sprawling public housing complex in Harlem.
Several other normal and exotic pets were found in the apartment, including an alligator named Al in another bedroom.
Authorities became aware of Ming's existence when Yates visited the emergency room and asserted that he was attacked by a dog.
However, medical personnel recognized that the injuries were too extensive for a dog attack.
