A black bear, part of the circus act, suddenly lost control, lunging at and biting one of the handlers.

An eyewitness, attending the show with a child, described the bear's first round on a balancing scooter as normal, but in the second round, it unexpectedly attacked the caretaker.

Quick intervention by on-site staff helped restrain the bear, and moments later, it released the handler's leg, nonchalantly turning its attention to popcorn scattered on the ground.

After the bear finished its impromptu snack, the handler, seemingly injured, managed to guide the bear off the stage.

Witnesses reported that some children were frightened, but fortunately unharmed. The mishap was attributed to the bear's diversion towards the popcorn left on the ground.

On December 11th, the spokesperson for the scenic area, where the circus is based, assured that the animal trainer was examined at the hospital and suffered no major injuries.

They emphasised the accidental nature of the incident, noting that the trainer had bear bite marks without bleeding. The spokesperson hinted at the potential reconsideration of such performances in the future, acknowledging the need to prioritise safety.

12月10日，四川成都七彩海巢景区一马戏团在表演时，一只黑熊突然失控扑倒工作人员进行撕咬。一名带孩子观看表演的目击者介绍，黑熊骑平衡车表演第一圈时很正常，第二圈突然失控咬向饲养员，现场工作人员迅速上前帮忙制止黑熊，几秒后，黑熊松开饲养员的腿，开始吃地上的爆米花。待黑熊进食完毕后，饲养员调整状态带黑熊离开了舞台，目击者称，饲养员腿部疑似受伤，现场有小朋友受到惊吓但无大碍。可能地上遗落的爆米花，转移了黑熊注意力才导致事故发生。
12月11日，马戏团所在的景区负责人称，驯兽师经医院检查无大碍，当时也有工作人员协助保护演出人员安全，“是个意外，驯兽师身上有熊咬的印子，也没有出血，后续可能要考虑下是否取消这种演出。”
