They found themselves face to face with a bear that had climbed onto the balcony of the house, an apartment on the first floor in Pescosolido, in the Frosinone area. The terror of the couple turned into an attempt to escape but the husband, to avoid a paw, jumped off the terrace.
The circumstance, told by the woman on social media, was confirmed by the carabinieri who intervened on the spot.
"Last night - reads the post on Facebook - my husband and I had a close encounter with the bear less than a meter away, the balcony railing separated us. Hearing noises coming from the terrace of the bedroom on the first slowly, unwary, unconscious thinking of some malicious person, we went out with the lights of the mobile phones ".
"I practically screamed in the face of the bear that bellowed with a paw, with the faint light of the mobile phone I was able to count all the teeth it had in its mouth plus the red tongue. With a jump back I went back through the French window 4 meters away.
"My husband who was in the corner to my right seeing himself being hunted down because in the meantime the bear had climbed over, he was forced to jump down. Fortunately, from the low side of 3 meters because on the other side there are 6. The fall was really bad, she has pain all over the place especially in the hip and pelvis and bruises all over the right side ".
The animal, perhaps frightened, "threw a couple of blows, one of which hit the old parable that probably spared my husband, the others empty since he was already below and dragging himself with great willpower he returned from the kitchen where I ran down to go and open ”. The bear finally escaped.
