SQUAMISH — A man has been injured in a black bear attack in Squamish, B.C., about 60 kilometres north of Vancouver.

British Columbia’s Conservation Officer Service says in a Facebook post that the attack happened Monday around 7 p.m., when a man was running on a trail in the area of Spit Road.

The service says the man came upon two black bear cubs and a sow, with the adult bear charging him and swiping at his arm and leg.

The man suffered minor injuries in the attack.
