The victim, Andrew Nierer, walked on January 19 to a store in the city of Jim Thorpe when he came face to face with the rabid beast.
Nier was seen on security images that tried to run away from the 100 pound black bear, which continued to follow him.
Before he could escape, the animal – Lunging came to him and wrapped his claws around him.
Kidneyer suffered snacks and scratches before a neighbor shot down the bear.
“It could have been much worse,” the victim told Wyou. “Fortunately he saved me, he shot it down.”
The Pennsylvania Game Commission described the behavior of the bear as 'abnormal'.

Game committee personnel took the bear for testing and concluded that it was rabies.
Despite the horrible test, Nierer told Wyou that he believed that the animal was just scared and hungry.
“They are hungry. They are starving. They should be in hibernation. This weather has been strange lately. Hot, cold, hot, cold, “he explained.
Nier is expected to make a 'full recovery' and have 'received appropriate medical treatment'

“I feel bad for the bear” because they really don't bother you that much. Everything just happens, “he added.
The state game commission that although rabies in bears are rare and cases are isolated, the disease 'is a risk for all mammals. '
“In this specific case, typically alone alone alone, therefore reduces the risk that other bears will be exposed to rabies.”
Nier is expected to make a 'full recovery' and 'has received appropriate medical treatment'.
