This is the moment a man diced with death after he climbed into a bear enclosure and appeared to punch the massive animal as it tried to bite his arm.
Terrified onlookers screeched in horror as the unknown man climbed over a protective fence and made his way towards the female bear at Warsaw Municipal Zoological Garden, Poland.
As the foolish man reached the bear the animal grabbed him by the arm with its mouth - at which point the intruder appeared to slam his fist down on the beast's head and then run off.
The photos of the dramatic encounter, which happened on Sunday morning, were taken by a shocked passer-by who then posted them to the internet.
He claimed the man was with a friend but that nothing else was known about him.
Maria Krakowiak, head of predatory animals at the zoo, said: "We do not know how the man escaped but she grabbed his arm.
"It then looks like he tried to hit her.
"The enclosure is heavily ringed off and no one in their right mind would try and get in there.
"He survived but we don't know where he went."
Police are now searching for him for the man and a spokesman said they have found a bracelet they believe belonged to him as well as traces of his blood.
Miss Karakowiak said: "Sabina is the bear this man approached and he's lucky because she is generally friendly.
"Perhaps that's why he survived because she is more familiar with people.
"If it had been one of the others the story would probably be different."
