A wild brown bear that wandered into a Slovakian town on Wednesday night has been shot dead by police.
Police and fire fighters used car lights and sirens in an attempt to make the 18 stone female bear move out of the area. They also tried unsuccessfully to inject it with sedatives.
Eventually police officers in the town of Martin shot the bear when it tried to reach a rescuer through the window of a car.
It is believed the bear was looking for food after being awoken from hibernation.
