Dramatic footage shows a bear being beaten by a crowd of men with sticks and spears after the animal mauled a man trying to take a selfie with it. The unidentified victim, 27, was saved by locals in Orissa, India, who sprung to his defence when the distressed animal pounced on him. Video footage captured by one of the bystanders shows the bear attacking the man as he struggles to escape its grip. When the bear refused to let go the mob used sticks and spears to pin it to the ground and beat it to death. Video taken by shocked onlookers shows one person trying to save Mr Bhatara from the animal, but to no avail.
