Comment on Lake City man attacked by black bear, three cubs inside home

Lake City man attacked by black bear, three cubs inside home

A black bear and three cubs broke into a Lake City home and attacked a 74-year-old man on Thursday, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. The mama bear and her cubs pawed open a partially cracked sliding glass door and entered the home around 8:30 p.m. Thursday, causing a loud crash that startled the people inside, CPW officials said in a news release. The man grabbed a chair from his kitchen and attempted to direct the adult bear back out the door, but the bear charged him and knocked him into a wall, CPW officials said. “It’s certainly lucky we didn’t have a fatality, because it was close,” CPW wildlife officer Lucas Martin said in the release. CPW officials said the bear repeatedly swiped at the man, injuring his head, neck, arms, lower abdomen, shoulder and calf.
