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.
