New Jersey Boy Scout Leader Attacked by Bear in Cave




A New Jersey Boy Scout leader is attacked
by a bear inside a cave,
and he's eventually rescued
with the help of three scouts.
The frightening encounter occurred
Sunday, Dec. 20th at Split Rock Reservoir--
located about an hour
northwest of New York City.
50-year-old Christopher Petronino entered
the cave and was surprised by the bear,
who grabbed him by the foot and
knocked him to the ground,
biting him in both shoulders and his leg.
Petronino was able to hit the bear
in the head a few times with a claw hammer
before curling up in the fetal position.
He shouted to his scouts outside the cave
to leave any food they had at the entrance,
and call 9-1-1.
The bear eventually came out,
and then scampered away when a dog
belonging to one scout began barking at it.
A search helicopter was able to locate the group,
and Petronino was airlifted to the hospital
with non-life-threatening injuries.
