Cops Release Chilling 911 Call From US Woman’s Super-Rare Bear Attack

If ‘The Revenant’ taught us anything, it’s that you *can* be viciously mauled by a bear and live to tell the tale / win an Oscar.

Now a 63-year-old Maryland woman has survived the state’s first bear attack in at least 80 years, walking away with a broken left arm and bite marks to her head and torso that required 70 stitches.
Karen Osborne was mauled by a female black bear in the driveway of her daughter’s rural home after she went outside to investigate their dog’s barking at around 9:30pm on Wednesday.
In a seriously chilling 911 call released by the County Sheriff’s Department, Osborne can be heard telling the dispatcher:

“Hurry. He’s broken my arms and my legs. I can’t move, and I’m bleeding, and I’m going to die.”
As she called for help, the bear came back a second time.
“Oh my God, here he comes. Please dear God, no. Please dear God, no. Hurry, sir.”
Her husband Ronald told the New York Daily News she managed to punch the bear in its face “a couple times” and play dead until her family rescued her and called an ambulance.

Osborne’s attack is incredibly rare; according to Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources Wildlife and Heritage Service, it’s been 81 years since a bear attacked a human in the state.
It’s believed the bear set on her thinking the dog was going to harm one of its three cubs, who were spooked by all the barking.
Local wildlife specialists tracked down and sadly euthanised the 90kg bear under a strict state policy mandating death for bears who attack humans.
Osborne remains in hospital but is expected to make a full recovery.
