CALGARY–A man who police say was geocaching in Alberta is being treated for injuries after being attacked by a bear.
RCMP said the man was in the Harold Creek area, northwest of Calgary, on Sunday when he encountered the bruin.
It charged him and tried to drag him into the bush, but he was able to free himself and drove to a store and met park rangers.
He was then taken by ambulance to Calgary.
RCMP Sgt. Shawn French said he doesn’t know the type of bear, but noted the area was remote and there isn’t any threat to the public.
The bear hasn’t been located yet, with police saying Alberta wildlife officers have taken over the investigation.
