A bear has attacked and bitten a man walking his dog in a village south of Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana, authorities said Wednesday.
The man suffered a minor leg injury in the attack around 7.30 on Wednesday morning in Želimlje, some 12 miles from Ljubljana, municipal authorities said.
The bear went back into the forest, where logging is currently taking place. Slovenia is an Alpine country covered in forests.
