Bear attacks woman jogging on Alaska military base

AKIPRESS.COM - bear A woman was attacked by a bear while jogging at a military base outside of Anchorage on Sunday morning, the US media report citing officials at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.

The woman encountered the female brown bear — and her cubs — while jogging along a road, Maj. Angela Webb, a base spokeswoman, told The Post on Monday afternoon.

The bear attacked the woman, though the extent of the woman’s injuries are still unclear, Webb said. A driver spotted the unnamed woman after the attack, picked her up and brought her to the base’s medical facility.

She was conscious and in stable condition at that time, Webb said, and she has since been transferred to the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage.

The injured person has requested that no information be released yet, Webb said.
