@afp: Dashcam footage from a passenger car shows it being attacked by a brown bear in Japan's northern Hokkaido Prefecture. The incident took place on 29 September, when two bears, believed to be a mother and cub, forced the vehicle to halt. Bears have killed six people across Japan since 1 April, after a record 13 fatal attacks last fiscal year, according to the environment ministry. Sightings last year doubled the previous record and bears are increasingly entering the outskirts of towns and cities. 🎥 Hokkaido Police
