Kita Hiroshimacho in Japan’s Hiroshima Prefecture, an old couple were taking advantage of the long daylight hours weeding their backyard. Around 5:30 in the afternoon, a bear came to Rumiko’s backyard. Rumiko Sasaki, an old lady, has been alerted by her husband about the old animal’s presence.
“When I stood up, there was a bear standing there, and it came right at me, aiming right at my face with its claws,” she says.
Instead of running away in fear, Rumiko faced the bear head-on.
“So I went ‘Aaaahhh!’ and tossed him off me and sent him flying. I think I hit him a few times too. Then he went running away.”
According to Rumiko, she estimates that the bear was about 150 centimeters tall.
Rumiko suffered several scratches on her face caused by the bear but she was still in good spirits when she was interviewed.
