The tourist, from Scotland, lowered the window to take snaps with her phone when the animal mauled her right arm.
Her companion stepped on the gas to escape further attack.
The scary encounter took place on the Transfăgărășan mountain road in Argeş County, Romania, on 22 April.
The OAP was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment after the attack in the Carpathian Mountains.
She told local media: “I come from Scotland.”
A reporter asked: “Your arm is okay?”
The tourist replied: “No, it’s sore.”
She added: “We were in the car and we were going to take a picture.
“And the bears came up to the window.”
In her hospital bed, the tourist said: “I just wanted to take a picture of him.”
Doctors have since confirmed that the woman’s injuries are not life-threatening.
Following the attack, the police organised themselves into several teams to drive the bears away from the area, as reported by Need To Know.
They also advised residents and tourists to always keep a safe distance if encountering animals in the wild.
