Terrifying moment brown bear tries to force his way into a broken down car, clambers onto the hood, rocks the vehicle and rips off the windshield wiper as passengers try to scare him off

A brown bear terrorized three Russians by trying to force its way into their car and climbing onto the bonnet after they broke down on a remote stretch of road.

Footage captured by the front seat passenger shows the terrifying moment the young bear attacked their Honda C-RV, flipping the car upside down and ripping off a windshield wiper.

The driver tried to scare him off by repeatedly blowing the horn and revving the engine while the bear tried to break in.

However, the animal seemed undisturbed, ignoring the noise and continuing to scratch the paint and windows.

The two women and a man in the car were waiting to be rescued after the car’s clutch failed on Sakhalin, Russia’s largest island, when the incident occurred.

You hear a woman in the SUV screaming in fear.

A female voice said in Russian, “He’s about to climb into the car. That’s it, he climbed into the car!’

When the bear finally got out of the car and ripped off the driver’s side windshield wiper, a woman said, “No, not the windshield wiper.”

The driver replied, “Damn,” apparently relieved that they had not been attacked.

Eventually the predator disappeared and was later seen on the side of the road.

It is understood that bear behavior could be linked to drivers feeding bears on remote roads, bringing them closer to cars than in the past.

Finally the bear climbed down from the hood, but wouldn't leave them alone
