A video shows the agonising moment a performing brown bear cub bites the chin of a young woman with a ‘death grip’.
The wild beast was with its owner as a real-life prop to entice passersby to pay to take photos at a main park in Russian city Grozny.
A woman, named Madina, had sat at the bench close to the hungry cub which "smelled the salmon salad" she had just eaten.
