Bear attacks teenager while he was watching videos in Arizona cabin

Three-year-old male bear was killed after swiping at boy’s face twice and ‘got him on the nose and the cheek’

A three-year old black male bear was “dispatched” after bursting into a family’s cabin in Alpine, Arizona, and taking a swipe at a 15-year-old boy who was alone inside watching YouTube videos.

The incident marks the 16th human-bear attack on people in Arizona since 1990. Only two of the attacks were deadly; in this case the bear’s body of the bear has been taken for examination, including to be tested for rabies.
