Bear maulings are rare in the Anchorage area, and details about what happened could help officials understand what provoked the bear.

According to the Anchorage Police Department, the victim is a 67-year-old woman who is in stable condition after she was rescued with a helicopter Tuesday and brought to a hospital. “She sustained injuries to her head, neck and arm,” APD spokesman Christopher Barraza wrote in an email Wednesday.

A hiker was hospitalized late Tuesday after being mauled by a brown bear on a popular trail network above Anchorage, Alaska. The Anchorage Daily News reported that the unidentified female victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was able to call for help after the attack in the Basher Trail area in the Chugach Mountains.
