3 Camp Counselors Injured in Bobcat Attack at Connecticut Park
Three adult camp counselors leading a group of youth campers at a Connecticut state park were treated for non-life-threatening injuries on Friday after they fought off and killed a bobcat that had attacked one of them, officials said.
One of the counselors was asleep in a hammock on Selden Neck Island early on Friday morning when the animal attacked him, the state’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said in a statement.
“The man, and two additional adults, subsequently killed the bobcat,” the department said. It was unclear how.
The department’s Environmental Conservation Police responded to the attack at the park, which is about five miles west of Lyme, Conn., and is accessible only from the water.
