Japanese bear on the run after injuring four people
Japanese authorities are trying to capture a bear in northeastern Japan that injured four people and apparently evaded capture by opening a window on its own.
Previously released footage shows the bear chasing and attacking a man outside a building in Fukushima.
The bear then hid in an electronics factory but escaped at night, officials said.
According to city officials, the bear’s print indicates he released the window latch and pushed it open.
Before Wednesday’s escape, the bear was reportedly seen turning on a water tap with its paws.
“We believe he is extremely smart,” Fukushima Mayor Yuki Baba said, according to Kyodo news agency.
