A woman has minor injuries after she was attacked by a bear in a rural part of B.C., local conservation officers say.
The B.C. Conservation Officer Service shared a statement about the incident Monday, saying the encounter happened on Friday while the woman was walking her two off-leash dogs near Forest Grove in 100 Mile House.
"The bear swatted and bit the woman before stopping its attack. The woman was able to leave the area and received medical treatment in hospital for bruising, scratches and minor puncture wounds." "Warning signs have been posted in the area and nearby residents have been informed of the incident," BCCOS' statement said.
