Bear sightings are stirring up a scare in part of New York on Halloween after neighbors caught the animal on video.
Officials in Yonkers issued warnings on Monday hours before kids and teens were expected to start hitting neighborhood houses to trick-or-treat. Police received reports of a sighting in the Lawrence Park neighborhood, in the area of Essex Place and Rockledge Road. The bear was not aggressive and did not exhibit any threatening behavior, but police say out of an abundance of caution they sent out the alert.
The bear has not been captured and is still believed to be in the area. The state stresses that bears are more likely afraid of humans and never approach or attempt to touch a bear. Also make loud noises in case a bear won’t leave.
