A bear entered a factory area in Japan's Fukushima city and attacked four people at once before fleeing.
The attack happened in the morning at a metallurgy plant. The bear first attacked two workers, then an elderly woman at her home, and another person in an office building.
All victims were taken to the hospital. Emergency services reported no life-threatening injuries.
Local police believe the bear is still in the city area. Schools have canceled classes. Residents are advised to be cautious and avoid walking alone.
