This amateur footage captures the moment an Asian black bear attacked a group of nine people, mostly tourists who were visiting nearby mountains.

The attack happened at a bus terminal in Takayama, Gifu – 220km west of Tokyo – on Saturday afternoon and left four people seriously injured, according to the Japanese news agency Kyodo.

An expert on Asian black bears told Kyodo it was unusual for them to attack humans and that the animal most likely panicked.

It doesn’t looked panicked in this clip as it mauls a man laid on the ground trying to fend off the beast.
