Bear Wandering in Monsey

Sunday June 1, 2008.
The Monsey bear was chased by residents and police officers for hours. The state Department of Environmental Conservation arrived about 7:30 p.m. when a small bear was perched in a tree on Remsen Avenue.

A DEC worker shot the bear with a tranquilizer gun and it was put into a drum-like container to be transported to a state park. Hundreds of people looked on.
