63-yr-old Fisherman fends off bear using karate
A Japanese fisherman channeled his inner Jackie Chan after he was attacked by a large bear near a local river.
The 63-year-old man, who holds a black belt in Karate engaged with the bear and managed to fend off its attack.
"At first glance it seemed like something was there, and it was a bear with an imposing stance. It came pouncing towards me when my eyes met the bear's," he told media.
"The bear had such, such great strength. I was knocked over when it leapt at me. It scratched me and bit me. But in the end I managed to trick the bear, poked it in the eyes and it ran away," he said.
The fisherman was able to bring himself to a nearby hospital where he was treated for minor injuries after receiving bite and claw marks on his body head and arms. UPI News added.
