Man Is Attacked By Bear Twice And Twice Defends Himself With An Axe Handle

The man, named only as Peter, had been walking with his dog through the Malá Fatra mountain range in northern Slovakia, close to Poland’s southern border, when he was set upon by the brown bear.

Terrifying video shows the man standing beside a tree when the bear suddenly rushes at him from out of the undergrowth.

He is then seen clobbering the animal over the head with the axe handle before the bear appears to run off.

But it then returns, forcing the man to again hit it over the head, as his excited dog barks nearby.

According to reports, before the attack, the man had spotted a group of bears and had attempted to warn them off by whistling.
