In Iwate prefecture, bears are attacking one after another, and police are calling attention.
After noon on the 8th, his mother, Yori (88), who lives with him, found a bear invading the house of Katsunori Takahashi (65) in Yokoshida, Hanamaki City.
According to police and family members, an adult bear broke the glass door of the room and invaded the house, attacked Yori, then sneaked into the house, broke the screen door at the entrance, and left.
Yori has been injured in her right arm and is being treated at the hospital, but there is nothing wrong with her life.
At that time, Mr. Takahashi's wife was also in the house, but he did not encounter a bear.
The house at the site is located at the foot of a mountain in the western part of Hanamaki City, and police are watching the surrounding area.
In addition, at Sasama Daini Elementary School, which is nearby, parents picked up and dropped off during school hours to ensure safety.
According to the prefecture, 14 people have been attacked by bears in the prefecture so far.
Although the number has decreased compared to 19 people at the same time last year, the prefecture and police have gone down to the remote areas in search of food because it is expected that beechnuts will be badly harvested. We call attention to the coming bears.
