Russian man expresses relief after Justin Bieber ringtone scares off deadly bear

A Russian man had a lucky escape recently after coming close to being mauled by a brown bear.

However, his mobile phone ringtone - a clip of Justin Bieber's 'Baby' - managed to scare off the deadly wild animal.

Igor Vorozhbitsyn suffered cuts and bruises in the incident, which took place in Northern Russia on a fishing trip.

The bear made contact with the Russian, but it seems Bieber's 'Baby' managed to scare away the animal.

Vorozhbitsyn told Central European News: "I had parked my car and was walking towards the spot I'd marked out when there was a tremendous impact on my back and the bear was on top of me. I couldn't believe my luck when the phone went off and he fled.

"I know that sort of ringtone isn't to everyone’s taste, but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke."
