This footage shows a woman being chased by bears in an alley in front of her house but she manages to escape them at the last minute.

The incident took place in Sinaia, which is a town in central Romania’s Prahova County, with footage showing a mother bear and her cub ambling down the alley shortly before a woman leaves her house on 27th October at around 9:45 PM.

The woman, who has not been named, can be seen going through a gate connecting her home to the alley in front of her house and walking off and out of shot in the same direction the bears went.

A few seconds later, however, she can be seen running back to the gate and quickly heading back inside, being careful to close the gate behind her.

The mother bear and her cub can then be seen coming back into shot, with the mother bear getting up on her hind legs and placing her front paws on the woman’s fence before taking a good look over it and sniffing the air.

Despite the fence shuddering slightly under the mother bear’s weight, she does not attempt to knock it down and seems to decide that the woman is more trouble than she is worth.

After waiting around for a few seconds, the mother bear and her cub leave.
