A three-year-old boy in HCM City had his arm bitten off by a bear kept on his family farm on January 11.

The boy, named Đ.T.D, in Tan Hiep Commune, Hoc Moon District, was playing near his house when he got too close to a bear, weighs 100 kilograms, kept in a cage on the farm. It grabbed him.
The boy’s grandmother tried to drag him free of the bear, and neighbours rushed to help, but by then he had lost his arm. He was taken to the local hospital and later moved to HCM City Paediatrics Hospital.
The bear had been on the farm for three years. It has since been destroyed.
