In May, an elusive black bear was spotted in several different Massachusetts towns and cities running — and sometimes swimming — away from authorities. Now, Newton is having its own black bear encounter.
Newton police advised citizens Sunday to be vigilant after video footage circulated of a black bear running through a yard near Cold Springs Park.
Footage shows the bear passing through someone’s front yard in Newton Highlands, police say. They also told people to stay away from the bear and contact the non-emergency line at 617-796-2123 for help.
