A humiliated rollerskating circus bear hit back at her trainer, attacking her in front of crowds of screaming children.

Starring in the 'Happiness Show' at the Mash Circus in Russia, the female bear named Dzhema was being forced to do tricks in front of the paying crowd. But during the routine she charges at her training in a terrifying confrontation caught on camera by someone in the audience.

The clip appears to show trainer Oleg Krasov forcing Dzhema to sit in a chair with a pair of rollerskates tied to her rear paws. Oleg is seen grabbing her fur forcefully and pulls her up sharply on her hind legs as he shoves her to start her moving across the floor.

But as her trainer turns away from her for a second, Dzhema drops back to all fours to charge at him. The powerful bear floors her trainer with a flurry of massive blows. She hits him with her front paws as parents rush their screaming children from the arena.

The footage ends with Dzhema towering over her stricken keeper as circus workers try to stop her as people rush out of the big top. Local media reports said that the trainer survived without any serious injury.

Circus management later tried to pass off the attack as "normal". They said in a statement: "She did not hurt him at all. She was actually playing with him. These are her normal actions. She loves him."
