The Department of Natural Resources and Renewables (DNRR) is investigating a report of a possible bear attack in Eastern Passage, N.S.
Nova Scotia RCMP and paramedics responded to the Shearwater Flyer Trail around 7:35 a.m. after receiving a report of a possible attack.
The RCMP told CTV Atlantic a person was injured, but would not confirm how those injuries happened or the extent.
The DNRR is calling the incident an “unconfirmed report of a bear attack.”
An email to CTV Atlantic from Erin Lynch, communications advisor with DNRR, says a section of the trail between Bissett Road and Caldwell Road is closed as staff conduct their investigation.
Out of an abundance of caution, Lynch says staff are setting live traps.
