  Matka s dítětem řvaly na skútru hrůzou, pronásledoval je medvěd
  Bezpečnostní kamery v čínském městě Nagčhu zaznamenaly 18. září děsivý okamžik. Za matkou s dítětem jedoucími na elektrickém skútru běžel v těsné blízkosti statný medvěd. Dvojice během jízdy řvala hrůzou, čímž přivolala sousedy a s jejich pomocí se povedlo šelmu zahnat na útěk. Video zprostředkovala agentura AP.
