Video shows black bear chasing and attacking people in the middle of the street in Japan.

A black bear has been repeatedly attacking people in the Japanese city of Fukushima, forcing local police to consider shooting the animal.

Kyodo News reported on June 3rd that Fukushima city police recently confirmed a black bear attack on four people in Sasakino prefecture. The victims sustained injuries of varying degrees, but none were life-threatening.

According to security video footage, the black bear chased a man into the Fukushima steel plant grounds, then knocked him to the ground. The bear then proceeded into a nearby building, injuring another person. Not stopping there, the bear moved to a neighboring company and attacked a man in his 60s. The final victim was an elderly woman in her 80s, before the bear escaped into a residential area in Sasakino.
