Two men foraging in the forests of Hokkaido province, Japan, were suddenly attacked by a bear while driving along a woodland road on April 28.
Footage released by Hokkaido Police shows the incident, which local media reported took place near Nemuro.
A wildlife specialist cited in local media said that it appeared as though the men’s car had come between a mother bear and her cub, causing the mother to attack.
The police release also included a picture of the car following the attack, which showed the windscreen partially shattered.
