Woman Attacked By Bear In Frederick County

RadioOnFire.com - A bear attacked a woman in Frederick County Wednesday night.

Natural resources police identified the woman as Karen Osborne. She is 63-years-old and suffered a broken arm, cuts to her head and puncture wounds to both arms.

Natural Resources Police say it happened in the driveway of a home along Shookstown Road which is just west of Frederick City. The house is surrounded by a lot of trees and woods.

A spokeswoman for Natural Resources Police tells the Frederick News Post that the woman didn't realize she got between a mamma bear and her cub. The cub was found in a tree near the attack.

This morning, the break was tracked down and has been euthanized, per Natural Resources. 

State officials say it is very very rare for a black bear to attack a human.
