A woman was bitten Friday after she punched a bear in the face after it started chasing her dog.
The woman, 64-year-old Lynn Kelly, was working in her backyard in Porter, which hugs the New Hampshire border, when her dog started barking and ran into the woods, according to a news release from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Kelly told CNN affiliate WMUR that when her dog returned, he was being chased by a bear. “I ran over to where he had gone down and kept calling him and calling him, and he finally came running back up.
After the punch, the bear let go of her wrist and ran back into the woods, according to the release. Kelly called 911 and was taken to a local hospital to be treated for the wounds. She has since been released. Her dog was unharmed. The bear hasn’t been seen since the “provoked attack,” according to the release. The department said they have set two live live traps to try to capture the animal, noting it was seen in previous days eating birdseed in neighbors’ yards.
