Man leaps into polar bear pit at Copenhagen Zoo

A man jumped inside a polar bear pit at the Copenhagen Zoo, forcing zookeepers to fire rubber bullets at the bear so they could rescue him.

The man leaped into the enclosure as guests, including children, were watching the 10-year-old bear.

Zoo staffers at first yelled to distract the animal from his potential prey before others with firearms arrived, firing rubber bullets to get the huge animal to back off.
