Neighbours have pelted rocks at a bear as it attacked a woman in her driveway in Canada.
Sabrina Susin said people who were driving by stopped and were also throwing rocks at the bear. One neighbour wielded a broom.
Susin said the victim was still conscious and lucid after the attack.
After a two- or three-minute struggle, the bear went behind the house where it was later shot and killed by police.
The woman, who hasn't been identified, was rushed to hospital this morning after the 113kg black bear confronted her while she was gardening in her yard just east of Vancouver.
Police say she is in a stable condition with serious injuries on her arms and head and with bite marks all over her body.
