A black bear killed an Arizona man drinking coffee on his property in a rare and unprovoked attack on Friday, according to authorities.
Steven Jackson, 66, of Tucson, had been sitting at a table on the property where he was building a home when the attack happened in the Groom Creek area around Prescott, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office said Friday. Several neighbours called 911 and unsuccessfully attempted to distract the animal with shouts and car horns in the “heavily wooded remote area” as it grabbed Mr Jackson “unaware, and dragged him approximately 75 feet down an embankment”.
