Bears will ice...you!
What's not mentioned is the bear completed a perfect triple-axel right before the incident:
The bear, who was wearing ice-skates when the incident occurred, attacked 25-year-old circus director Dmitry Potapov, dragging him across the ice rink by his neck and nearly severing one of his legs before relenting.
