A tau decay is identified by the detection of its characteristic decay topologies in nuclear emulsion films. OPERA reported the detection of a first tau neutrino event in 2010. We recently detected a second tau neutrino event in the 2011 run sample. The primary vertex has two charged particles of which one exhibits a three-prong vertex in the plastic base of a film after a flight length of 1.54 mm. It satisfies all the selection criteria to be a tau neutrino interaction. Especially the azimuthal angle in the transverse plane between the tau candidate track and the primary track is almost 180 degrees. The number of tau to 3<em>π</em> signal events expected in the analyzed sample is 0.18, the number of background events is 0.05.
