Bear attacks Arizona teen watching TV

15-year-old Brigham Hawkins was rescued by his family after a bear slashed the boy, cutting his face. The bear came through an open door and attacked Brigham from behind. He had just finished a long day of fishing and went to the family's bunk house to watch TV. The rest of the family was still in the cabin about 20-feet away.
While his brother distracted the bear, his dad also was able to help him escape to safety.
Brigham has cuts on his face and arms, but it could have been worse and his mother is grateful.
FOX 10's Kenzie Beach has the story.
The bear attack is not shown in the video.

Bears (like wolves) are opportunistic animals and it might`ve been that that bear was stalking those kids because they`re prey-sized and if he saw that one kid as being disabled, he problably thought that that boy would make a good tapa. BTW your prayers won`t change anything and prayers never have changed anything, and hey didn`t ur "god" also create the bear that attacked him? Be coherent, not irrational.

Not so in the northern towns (Prescott, Flagstaff, Springerville etc.).

Some of the dumbest logic I've ever heard. According to the Census Bureau, New York City had a population of 8.8 million people in 2022. We can assume roughly half of those are men, so 4.4 million men. According to the New York City Police Department's own website, the number of "grapes" in NYC in that same year was 1,617. Yes, that's too many; even 1 is too many. But put women in a city full of 4.4 million bears, where they're actually in close proximity to such a large concentration every single day, and see how many of them survive unscathed. (Keep in mind, 4.4 million is more than 13 times the number of black bears in the ENTIRE United States. And yes, proximity has a lot to do with the prevalence of bear attacks; can't get attacked if they're all out in the wilderness, far away from people. The closer they are to people, the more attacks will happen.)

There are places in Az. Especially in the White Mountains on the Rez, that SCARE the crap out of me when we go fishing. You can feel it in the air, if you know what i mean. Gotta carry bear spray, "A big freeken can of it"😅

Well, gotta be prepare when you're in their home right? Maybe lock the doors and window next time or rethink going there so often. 💯

Prayers for the boy and his family. I live in bear country. Bears can be unpredictable, but attacks like these are rare.

[@anthonyzarate9807]

I'm really sick of these people calling them "unprovoked attacks"!!!!! Every last attack in history is provoked. If we choose to take chances by going into the bear's environment, we are provoking them!

[@saraglickman5889]

How do they know they euthanized the right bear? This always confuses me! Do they have a scent dog track it?

[@cjhunt2000]

They did a thorough investigation taking evidence from the bear, Brigham, and the cabin. They verified it was the right bear. This bear was not giving up. After they had scared it away and got Brigham to the hospital it came back and was on the porch again. Brigham is my nephew.

[@elliesmith8139]

Why would they euthanize the bear!!!? it's in the woods where it belongs doing normal bear Behavior... how about people stop building their stupid cabins the only place Bears have to live or don't get mad when they attack you!🙄🙄🙄

Yeah leave the bears alone.

Unfortunately the bear has become reliant on people food and will continue to come back for more. It happens a lot in Alaska, all these tourist leaves coolers and all kinds of food outside at campsites and the bears become more and more aggressive and have to be put down. I don't agree with it,but that's just how it goes.
