While driving around the territory and using the loudspeaker systems, the policemen and the port’s security personnel were warning the port personnel and the ships crews about the danger of staying in the open space. “The wild animal, who came to the port, was rushing about the storage area and auxiliary facilities looking for a way out. It was infuriated with hitting different obstacles, its behavior was unpredictable,” the statement says. With a horn sound the policemen tried to force the bear out to a desolate place, outside the port towards the woods. “Yet, the bear ran towards the engineering workshops not far from a heavy truck parking where port employees were staying. Having hit the fencing, the infuriated animal rushed towards one of the policemen who had to use his service weapon having no opportunity to escape. The bear was deactivated”, the statement says. A check was initiated to justify the use of weapon.
