With its elegant cafes, bistros and boutiques, downtown Asheville in North Carolina is a popular spot for visitors.

But one recent tourist was guaranteed to turn more heads than most!

A black bear was filmed trotting down the road as dumbstruck bystanders and police officers watched in awe.

Police said the 'law-abiding' bear used a crosswalk to get over the street. 

Heartwarming footage of the bear's stroll was shared by Cari Barcas on Facebook on April 21.
