A boy was critically injured after a bear mauled him in a forest near Aring 8, in Gua Musang, Kelantan, reported Berita Harian.

Dee Usop, nine, from Kampung Aring 5, was attacked while looking for wood with his father, Usop Ching, 39, at around 3pm on Tuesday.

Usop, who was also injured on his back in the attack, had to carry his son out of the forest to get help.
