A "honey bear" isn't a bear.
It's a procyonid.
We call them kinkajous.
And they are normally quite placid as pets. And they are teddy bear sized.
However, they have been known to attack their owners rather savagely.
They are also nocturnal, which explains why this attack happened while the person was sleeping.
