Man attacked by bear in Los Angeles

Associated Press

A man who was attacked by a bear in foothills near Los Angeles has been released from the hospital.

Richman says he was running on a wilderness trail Monday when he saw a bear standing on its hind legs ahead.

He tried to back away and found another bear behind him. He yelled and it walked off the trail.

Richman told KCAL-TV.

He held completely still until the bear left.

He suffered cuts, scratches and punctures.

State wildlife officials say Richman may have interrupted a mating session.
