Man Attacked by Wild Bear on His Way Home in Da Nang Highlands

A man in a mountainous area of Da Nang suffered serious injuries after being attacked by a wild bear while walking home in the evening.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Do Quang Vinh, head of the Ga Ry Border Guard Station, the victim was identified as Mr. Pơloong Nhương, 48, head of A Tu 1 village in Hung Son commune, Da Nang City.

At around 6:30 p.m. on October 21, local residents discovered Mr. Nhương lying unconscious on the roadside with multiple deep wounds consistent with claw and bite marks from a wild animal.

Border guards immediately dispatched a medical team to provide first aid and coordinated with local authorities to transfer the victim to a military medical post for emergency treatment.

Doctors reported that Mr. Nhương sustained severe injuries to his face and lower jaw, with significant blood loss. He has since regained consciousness and confirmed that he was attacked by a wild bear on his way home.

Authorities have visited the victim’s family to offer support and have urged residents to avoid traveling alone, especially in the late afternoon or evening, as they continue to track the bear’s movements in the area to ensure public safety.
