Georgi Bizhev, a 46-year-old Bulgarian tourist, was mauled by a bear in Romania's Carpathian mountains while driving near the Vidraru Dam. After stopping to take pictures of a mother bear and her cub, he threw food scraps at them, provoking the bear to attack. Footage shows the bear lunging into Bizhev's car, where it clawed and bit him as he screamed for help. He sustained serious injuries, including bite wounds to his left arm, and credited his seatbelt for preventing more severe harm. Local authorities responded quickly after he alerted dam guards, emphasizing that the bear was likely protecting her cub. This incident highlights the dangers of feeding wildlife, as the area is known for bear sightings. Bizhev acknowledged his mistake in entering the bear's territory and has since returned to Bulgaria for further medical treatment. This attack coincides with another bear incident in Japan, where four people were injured by a bear in a residential area.
