SEWARD, Alaska (KTUU) - A man and woman were taken to a Seward hospital after fighting off a bear Wednesday night, according to Alaska State Troopers.

According to AST, troopers received a report of the attack from the hospital around 9:11 p.m. The pair said they were attacked by a brown bear a quarter mile up Exit Glacier Trail in Seward. The report says they sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

The National Park Service was notified and the trail is closed until further notice. Local biologists, AST and Wildlife Troopers will assess the area “at first light,” according to the report.

The victims reported seeing only one bear, according to troopers spokesperson Tess Williams.

My wife and I were on that exact trail when we visited Alaska in 2015. Glad to hear the couple was not seriously injured.

Not that rare any more.

Every story use to lead with a Rare attack. The word rare has been disappearing from bear attack stories

Not rare news any more but still interesting to a lot of people
