A Canadian man leaped to the defense of his wife after a polar bear lunged toward her in a dramatic ambush by the animal in rural Ontario. According to the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service, the unidentified couple left their house at around 5 a.m. Tuesday to find their dogs. They were met in their driveway by a feisty polar bear, who lunged at the woman.
Police said the fast-moving man jumped onto the mammal to prevent the attack. 'The woman slipped to the ground as her husband leap onto the animal to prevent its attack,' police said in a statement. 'The bear then attacked the male, causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries to his arm and legs.' COLORADO AUTHORITIES HUNTING COYOTE AFTER ATTACK ON YOUNG CHILD A neighbor arrived with a gun and shot the bear several times.
The man was transported to a community nursing station, where he was treated for his injuries, police said. Police said they 'continued to patrol the area to ensure no other bears were roaming the community.'
