Boy miraculously escapes a dangerously close encounter with brown bear

A young boy has escaped a bear attack by keeping calm and following his family’s instructions. The 12-year-old boy, named Alessandro, was hiking with some adults in the Brenta Dolomites, northern Italy, when he made the close encounter.

A clip of the incident shows the brave boy walking away while the bear follows him about two metres behind. The person filming the video
