A drunk man who fought with a bear in a zoo in Ukraine has been seriously injured.
The man and his friend, also drunk, went to the zoo in the Ukrainian city of Cherkassy. After attempting to tease some monkeys, they went to the bear’s open-air cage, the Newsru.Com web agency reported.
One of the drunks, 22, decided to show his strength and jumped over the gate and pretended to be a trainer. In response, the bear weighing 270 kilograms struck the man. The drunk, however, started to kick the bear but the animal hit the man again and again.
After a female bear appeared at the scene, a passing pedestrian managed to pull the drunk back to a safe spot, the agency reported.
The attacker was rushed to hospital in a grave condition.
