On the morning of the 13th, an 86-year-old man was running on a prefectural road in Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture, and he was attacked by a bear and injured his face and feet.
Before 7am on the 13th, Fumio Fujisaki (86), who lives in the city near the tunnel on the prefectural road in Kamaishi, was run by a bear.
According to the police, immediately after finding a baby bear in front, Mr. Fujisaki was attacked by a bear who appeared to have come out from the right side of the road, and his face and right thigh were scratched.
The bear then left the scene, and Mr. Fujisaki rushed to the hospital for treatment, but there was no difference in life.
The site is a prefectural road that passes through a forest about 1 km northwest of JR Kamaishi Station, and is a region with a lot of bear sighting information.
In Iwate Prefecture, 12 people have been injured by being attacked by bears by the 12th day after entering Kotori, which means that there are 3 more people than the same time last year.
In fact, the beech fruits that feed the bears are unsuccessful, and the number of bears descending to the vicinity in search of food is increasing, and Kamaishi City has called for attention to bear infestation.
