A forty five-year-old man climbing alone in Alberta, Canada, was mauled by a bear late Friday morning, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed to Fox Information Digital Saturday.
The unnamed hiker from Calgary was in a distant a part of Crowsnest Go close to Window Mountain Lake round 11:19 a.m., when the assault occurred, leaving him with in depth accidents, RCMP public data officer Cst. Cory Riggs confirmed to Fox Information Digital.
RCMP at Crowsnest Go responded after receiving an emergency SOS activation from the hiker on the Nice Divide Path after the assault.
The person was taken to a hospital to be handled for his accidents, RCMP stated in a launch.
Crowsnest Hearth Rescue, Fish and Wildlife, Search and Rescue and STARS air ambulance assisted police within the man’s rescue.
“No matter what your experience level is, while exploring the wilderness, SOS devices are an essential tool for anyone who may find themselves in an emergency situation,” the discharge stated. “It is the most reliable way to call for help after sustaining an injury in an isolated area. Always make sure that you notify others of your planned route, along with your time of departure and approximate return.”

The assault was “like playing tug of war with your dog, but he was playing it with my arm and ripping it apart,” hunter Riley Hill stated afterward.
Medical doctors estimate it’ll take two months for him to get well.
