A Canadian reportedly had a lucky escape as a polar bear mauling him was apparently scared off by the light from the man's mobile phone.
The man pulled out the handset as the bear pounced on him in the coastal town of Churchill, Manitoba province.
The device's light startled the animal allowing him to flee, reports CTV News.
Churchill is dubbed the "polar bear capital of the world" because of the large numbers of the animals that pass through during autumn migration.
Mike Spence, who is mayor of the town, said the unnamed man was walking home on Saturday when the bear attacked, scratching his shirt and biting him on the back.

길을 걷다 등뒤에서 북극곰이 공격했는데 비명과 함께 불빛을 비추자 곰이 튀었답니다
캐나다 처칠은 길거리에 가끔 북극곰이 출몰하기도 하는 도시랍니다
그런데 북극곰 넘 귀엽 ^-^
