- Man texting on phone almost walks into a bear
- Looked up just in time to see the animal
- Animal was walking residential streets for hours
TEXTING while walking down the street can be dangerous - traffic, lamp posts and even pot holes can lead to accidents.
But for one California man the danger was even bigger.
TV helicopter crews managed to capture an oblivious phone user walking into the path of a 250kg black bear.
The video shows the homeowner calmly walking towards the giant animal, engrossed in his mobile.
However, just feet before he reaches it, he notices the huge bear - and turns and runs in the nick of time.
Residents of La Crescenta, California, were warned to be on the lookout for the bear, which was only finally contained in a back garden hours later.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies received a call of a bear sighting yesterday, KTLA-TV reported.
La Crescenta station sheriff's deputies and the Glendale Police Department responded, according to sheriff's Sgt Mark Slater.
"We did locate about a 500, 600-pound bear in this immediate area,"Sgt Slater said.
"He's been wandering through the residential area for the last several hours."
"Department of Fish and Game is en route," Mr Slater said.
"They have ultimate responsibility over it. Our role right now is if the bear is docile and just hunkering down, we'll let him continue that until Fish and Game gets here."
A police helicopter has been tracking the bear, which is believed to be the same animal that broke into a garage and pried open a refrigerator to snack on some frozen meatballs last month.
