A bear attacked an elderly man and woman in their home in Stateline on Wednesday morning.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife says the bear entered a garage off of Kingsbury Grade while looking for food.

The man living there confronted the bear, which scratched his hand and followed him into the house.

NDOW says the bear also attacked the woman living in the home before leaving.

People are advised by NDOW to secure their trash and remove anything that could attract a bear, including bird feeders, pet food, and other food or scented items.
