A man who resisted

attacks by a grizzly bear in Alaska

for an entire week

is recovering from his injuries after being found in a camp, the United States Coast Guard said.

The crew of a helicopter making a routine flight over the coast of Alaska

saw the SOS sign written on the roof of a cabin

last Friday, the guard said in a note.

When they returned to inspect the message, the crew saw a man raising his hands in the air.

This gesture is "considered internationally as

a signal for help,"

the statement said.

"The crew members landed and made contact with the individual who

required medical assistance after being attacked by a bear a

few days before," it is added.

The victim suffered a leg injury and bruises to his torso.

He told authorities that

for a week he was harassed by the bear that returned to his camp every night.

The man was taken to the nearby town of

None

to be treated for his injuries.
