A security guard in Japan recently had a scary encounter in a public toilet. He had to kick a bear away to save his life. This incident is part of a record-breaking number of bear attacks happening in Japan this fall, with many occurring in populated areas.
According to The Guardian, the attack happened in Gunma prefecture, just north of Tokyo, early Friday morning. The 69-year-old guard was about to leave a building near a closed railway station when he saw the animal looking inside. The bear was between 1 to 1.5 meters long.
