"A hiker who was injured by a polar bear in a remote national park in northern Labrador has been flown to a Quebec trauma centre for treatment, Parks Canada says.
Matt Dyer, a prominent legal aid lawyer from Portland, Maine, was with seven other hikers with the Sierra Club on Wednesday in Torngat Mountains National Park when he was attacked by the bear.
Peter Deering, with Parks Canada, said they got the call from the RCMP that someone in the park had been attacked.
According to Deering, Dyer was alone in his tent, and the group woke up to the attack at around 1:30 a.m. AT."
