According to police, an Australian man was killed when a kangaroo he had been keeping as a pet attacked him.

On Monday, a relative discovered the 77-year-old man at his home in Redmond, which is about 250 miles (400 kilometres) south of Perth, with serious injuries.

The kangaroo stopped the ambulance crew from treating the man when they got to the remote property.

According to the police, they had to shoot the marsupial to death so that paramedics could attend to him. Man passed away there and then. 

A police spokesperson told media they believed the man had been attacked by the kangaroo - a wild animal - earlier in the day.

Australia is home to about 50 million kangaroos, which can weigh up to 90kg and grow to 2m tall.
