Security camera footage captured the moment a bear tried to wander into the Crazy Bruce Liquor store in Bristol, Connecticut.

On Aug. 13, the black bear can be seen walking on the sidewalk before making its way to the liquor store through an open door.

The animal was not able to get inside the store due to an employee locking the second inner door at the entrance.

The bear then apparently wanders away, and the employee can be seen letting a man with a red shirt inside the store.

“Instinct I guess, that’s what I’m thinking,” Crazy Bruce Liquor employee Daniel Thibodeau told NBC Connecticut about why he locked the doors.

No one was injured in the incident.
