Police respond to 2nd bobcat encounter in southeast Calgary, woman left injured
A woman in the southeast Calgary community of Parkland was injured following an encounter with a bobcat on Sunday, according to police. Officers responded around 4:45 p.m. on Sunday after receiving "reports of a bobcat attack" from witnesses, said acting Calgary police staff sergeant Mike Sushelnitsky. "From the investigation, it looked like the pedestrian received some minor injuries and was treated at hospital after they took themselves there," he said. The incident follows a bobcat encounter that left a woman injured in Parkland on June 23. Sushelnitsky did not comment on whether the two incidents could be related. "It's unknown what provoked this attack," said Sushelnitsky, who pointed to Parkland's proximity to Fish Creek Provincial Park as a potential factor behind wildlife encounters. Alberta Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Services responded to the scene alongside the Calgary Police Service, Sushelnitsky said. CBC News has reached out to Fish and Wildlife for comment on the latest bobcat encounter. The June 23 incident had involved a bobcat with kittens, leading Fish and Wildlife to call it an isolated, chance encounter" and conclude the mother had "appeared to act defensively," according to a statement sent to CBC News at the time.
