— The bear came towards us and we actually had a chance to shoot, but then the dogs were in the way. Then the female bear suddenly caught sight of me and went straight on the attack and stabbed me in the face, the hunter tells me SVT Gävleborg.
The female bear had a frame on one side of her head and the other on the man’s thigh when the son screams “no” and flies at the bear with punches and kicks.
For The Express tells the 14-year-old son that the course of events is fast and that he only remembers running forward and hitting the bear with a right.
— Then it bites my hand and pulls it.
On Tuesday, both father and son are doing well according to the circumstances. The son had surgery on his broken wrist and he also injured his little finger. The boy’s quick intervention is believed to have saved the father’s life.
