A tiger handler remains in hospital after being attacked by a tiger at Dreamworld on Australia's Gold Coast.

Investigations are underway after the trained handler was set upon by one of the theme park's nine Sumatran and Bengal tigers yesterday morning.

It follows a fatal tiger attack on a keeper at Hamilton Zoo in 2015.

Correspondent Lesley Yeomans told Ryan Bridge the attack seemed to come out of nowhere.

She said the incident is now being thoroughly reviewed.
