LAFAYETTE, New Jersey -- A woman is in the hospital after being mauled by a bear in Lafayette, New Jersey Wednesday afternoon.That's when the bear charged and attacked her leaving wounds on her right arm and along the right side of her body, according to police.New Jersey Department Of Environmental Protection was notified of the incident.
The DEP reminds the public of the following steps they can take to reduce the risk of encounters with black bears:--Make the bear aware of your presence by speaking in an assertive voice, singing, clapping your hands, or making other noises.--If a bear enters your home, provide it with an escape route by propping all doors open.
--To scare the bear away, make loud noises by yelling, banging pots and pans, or using an airhorn. Make yourself look as big as possible by waving your arms. If you are with someone else, stand close together with your arms raised above your head. --If a bear stands on its hind legs or moves closer, it may be trying to get a better view or detect scents in the air. It is usually not a threatening behavior.
