A 32-year-old woman was attacked by a polar bear after she jumped into their enclosure at the Berlin Zoo.
On Friday, while the polar bears at the Berlin Zoo were being fed, a 32-year-old woman went into their cage and was attacked by them.

The woman, only known as Mandy K, had to scale a wall, a row of hedges, and a fence to get inside.
At the Berlin Zoo, while the bear was being fed, the woman sprang over the bars and hurt her back, arms, and legs.
One of the bears attacked the victim on the arms and legs several times, even though six zookeepers tried to distract the four predators.
The victim was saved by the zookeepers who were able to frighten off the bear.
After undergoing surgery to heal her wounds, the 32-year-old woman is currently recuperating in the hospital.
It was then revealed that she is a teacher who had become hopeless due to her inability to obtain employment.
