The man who was attacked by a bear at the zoo he visited was seriously injured.

Horrifying moments at a zoo in Switzerland were captured on camera. A man in his 20s jumped into the bear pit after climbing over a 4-meter-high fence, and was then attacked by an angry bear.

In the footage taken by shocked visitors, the bear is seen attacking the man and tossing him around like a toy. The bear bit the man's shoulders, causing injuries. After the attack, blood was seen flowing from the man's head, arms, and left hand.

Rescue teams initially used blank bullets to try to stop the bear. However, when the bear did not stop, they were forced to shoot it with a single bullet to the chest. Police and medical teams quickly entered the area and carried the injured man on a stretcher to the ambulance.

The man, who suffered severe head and leg injuries, was taken to the hospital. His condition was reported to be stable. The injured bear, on the other hand, recovered quickly with the intervention of veterinarians.

After the incident, the public showed great support for the bear. Many people left flowers and jars of honey in front of the bear's cage. According to Swiss tourism sites, the bear still lives in the same pit with its friend Björk and two cubs.
