A man fishing in Russia was saved from a bear attack after his phone’s ringtone — the Justin Bieber song Baby — scared away an agitated creature.
According to the New York Post, Igor Vorozhbitsyn was on a fishing trip in northern Russia when he was attacked by a large brown bear. Luckily for Vorozhbitsyn, his phone began to ring shortly after the bear pounced — and Bieber’s Baby warded off his four-legged assailant.
Igor told the Post:
I had parked my car and was walking towards the spot I’d marked out when there was a tremendous impact on my back and the bear was on top of me.
I couldn’t believe my luck when the phone went off and he fled.
I know that sort of ringtone isn’t to everyone’s taste but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke.
Whether you like the song or not, Baby has come in handy in some situations and helped out, this one for example.
