The woman said she was mauled 2 miles into the trail and she couldn’t walk.
A brown bear attacked a woman as she hiked a popular trail in a hillside neighborhood in Anchorage, Alaska, and officials are still looking for the animal, state police said.
State troopers used a helicopter to take the woman from the Basher Trail to a hospital, police spokesman Christopher Barraza said. Her injuries aren’t considered life-threatening, he said.
The woman, who has not been identified, called 911 at around 3 p.m. Tuesday and told the dispatcher that she had been mauled by a bear about 2 miles into the trail, in Stuckagain Heights, Barraza said.
