Rome – A walk just before the night shift has become one for a young police officer nightmare developed. The 24-year-old was in company at a lake in the Italian mountain village of Andalo in South Tyrol when suddenly one of them Berries fell on him, the local authorities said on Sunday.

Bear attack in South Tyrol: Bear seriously injures young man
The walkers were completely surprised by the bear attack. According to the statements of the two witnesses, the attack took place suddenly and without provocation. The bear (121 kilos) threw the policeman to the ground and seriously injured him. The injured man had to be transported to the hospital.
The bear was found that night around four in the morning when he was rummaging through a garbage can for food. Light and the presence of people would not have bothered him. The animal was stunned with one shot, captured and brought into the enclosure of “Casteller”.
Bear weighs 120 kilograms: is it M57?
The two-and-a-half-year-old bear is likely M57, which had previously been spotted in the area. In the next few days, the authorities hope to use genetic analyzes to clarify the bear’s identity. In the past few months, according to the authorities, there have been repeated reports of a meeting between bear and human. For example, a bear followed hikers in the forests of the Paganella plateau and made forays into the villages to look for food in the garbage cans. In the Trentino, the predators were reintroduced years ago with a protection program. More than 90 specimens now live there (ml)
In Bavaria took care of a bear for discussions. As Merkur.de * reported, a wildlife camera snapped the “shy” animal. At Garmisch-Partenkirchen we were able to do this at the beginning of the year Bear paw prints in the snow being found. This was followed by clear instructions to hikers. * Merkur.de is part of the Ippen-Digital network
