MAPLE RIDGE, B.C. — The Conservation Officer Service says it has trapped a bear that may be responsible for an attack in Maple Ridge, B.C.
A woman's face was cut in the incident that occurred on the deck of her rural home at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Inspector Murray Smith says the mother bear may have knocked the woman over while running away, leaving her with a laceration.
He says the bruin was caught about 12 hours after the incident that took place about 60 kilometres east of Vancouver.
The bear's two cubs were found up a nearby tree.
Smith says a decision about the fate of the family is being made.
