Video captured on Mount Wilson in the Angeles National Forest showed a black bear charging at a hiker. <\/p>\n
The video<\/a>, which was posted on Instagram Monday by Eric Chiu, shows a hiker walking toward a black bear (that appears brown) and making noise with bells to try to get the bear to go away. <\/p>\n Instead, the bear charges right at the hiker before the video stops. The hiker and person recording apparently made it out unscathed.<\/p>\n \u201cI was thinking this guy is crazy and I hope nothing happens to him,\u201d Chiu told NBC Los Angeles<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m not sure what was going through his mind to be honest, because the last thing you would think about is somebody would actually walk toward a bear. And at that point, I was a little bit concerned for his safety.\u201d<\/p>\n The video was recorded by Chiu\u2019s stepmother, who witnessed the bear from a distance, he wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n No one was injured by the bear and it was a \u201cfalse charge,\u201d Chiu wrote.<\/p>\n
