The trail was closed on Monday after emergency crews responded to an injured person around 8 a.m. “The Department cannot speculate on what may or may not have happened outside of a potential wildlife attack; police would need to speak to how the person sustained injuries,” the statement read. The RCMP says it responded to reports of a man who said he had been attacked by a bear, and the man presented with non-life-threatening injuries. Police did not explain how the man suffered those injuries. “Police do not believe that criminality was a factor in how this man sustained the injuries, and the police investigation concluded with the referral on August 26 to DNRR,” Cpl. Carlie McCann told 95.7 NewsRadio. “The investigation can be reopened if police receive new information.” 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Nova Scotia minister says ‘organized crime’ involved in lobster fishery next post Health minister asks Nova Scotia Health, IWK to prepare for potential strike You may also like Latest survey shows majority of votes would go... 12 نوفمبر، 2024 Chance of flurries this week in Halifax 12 نوفمبر، 2024 Canadian Union of Postal Workers issues 72-hour strike... 12 نوفمبر، 2024 Double-double trouble: N.S.
