ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A Kenai man is recovering from a bear mauling.
Officials say 43-year-old Mark Johnson was attacked by a brown bear sow with two cubs as he left his home Tuesday.
Johnson tried to run from the bear, but it caught him biting him several times.
He underwent surgery at Central Peninsula Hospital. State wildlife officials say they found several large buckets of garbage on Johnson's porch about 150 yards from where the mauling occurred.
