PAYSON, Ariz. — An Arizona campground has been evacuated after a 74-year-old woman awoke in her tent to a bear clawing at her.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department said the bear ripped a hole in the tent at about 4:30 a.m. Thursday while the woman was sleeping next to her husband and their dog at Ponderosa Campground in Tonto National Forest, just off Highway 260 about 10 miles east of Payson.
Officials said after tearing open the tent, the bear reportedly stuck its head in and clawed at the woman. She had bruises and a laceration on her scalp.
