Video shows elephant charging at man who took his 2-year-old daughter into habitat at San Diego Zoo

A father has been arrested on suspicion of child endangerment after he carried his 2-year-old daughter into the elephant habitat at the San Diego Zoo to take a photograph with the animals. The man bypassed multiple barriers and "purposely and illegally trespassed" into a habitat for Asian and African elephants Friday afternoon, zoo spokesman Andrew James said.

CBS affiliate KFMB-TV obtained video that showed a man dropping the child as they flee the enclosure as a trumpeting elephant charged at them. The man picked up the toddler and was able to get her out safely. Police said the 25-year-old man wanted to take a photo with the African bull elephant. James said the elephants were not harmed.
