WOW,

We have more bears up in Northern Maine than we have deer and I have never heard of a problem up here. This only happens where bears are not hunted and associate people with food instead of danger.

No one seemed in a rush to go to the aid of the first victim.

Yes they all stood there ! Bring you're akita with you , that was bred to hunt pigs and bear .At least they shot it .I watched a PBS program recently and a cattle eating grizzly was finally caught and tagged and released !!
When the rancher asked why they released it they said once caught and collared he would go away !! The rancher finally gave up.

Looks just like your typical bunch of Japanese tourists crowding a bear, in Banff National Park.
Grizz

The person being mugged should have given up their sashimi box lunch a mite quicker.

That is a small / juvenile Bear - a sub-species of the Himalayan black bear. This animal is much more carnivorous and aggressive than the N.American black bear.

In the Himalayas they are know to kill horses, cattle, deer etc. attacks on humans are common in orchards.
