Wild cell phone video shows an elephant charging at a man after he climbed into the enclosure at the San Diego Zoo.

Po-po say Jose Manuel Navarrete, 25, bypassed multiple barriers and "purposely and illegally trespassed" in the enclosure to order to take a picture.

In the video, an elephant can be seen charging at him as he gets out of the way just in time.

The San Diego Zoo said in a statement:

“…two guests, despite multiple barriers, purposely and illegally trespassed into a habitat, which is home to our Asian and African elephants. San Diego Zoo security promptly responded to the incident, but the guests had already exited the habitat.”

Navarrete faces a charge of child cruelty with possible injury or death.
