Slovakia bear attack: Terrifying moment animal goes on rampage and injures two - after woman, 31, fell to her death while being chased
This is the terrifying moment a bear unleashed terror as it rampaged through a Slovakian town and attacked two people, leaving them hospitalised.
A 49-year-old woman sustained an injury to her shoulder, while a 72-year-old man is being treated for a gash on his head after the pair were attacked in Liptovský Mikuláš, officials said.
Local reports have stated the police drove the bear out of town and into a forest following the brutal attack.
Footage of the bear circulating on social media shows the animal running down a main road and past what appears to be a public green area.
Another horror clip shows the moment the bear dashes across a zebra crossing as terrified citizens flee the beast.
It is then spotted leaping through a green area before returning to the streets and setting its sights on a man.
The man could be seen scaling a fence in terror as the bear bounded towards him, before he quickly clambered over the barrier.
In a heart-stopping moment, viewers can see the man making it over the fence just in time, before the rampaging beast lunges at the fence in fury.
It comes just a day after a woman, 31, died after she and her friend were set upon by a brown bear in Slovakia.
The woman, from Belarus, had been walking with a male companion in the Low Tatras mountain range when they were chased by the predator.
According to the male, he and the woman darted off in different directions while in the depths of the thick forest.
