Rutgers University
student was killed by a black bear over the weekend, the police said on Monday,
the first such recorded death in New Jersey since the 1850s.
The student, Darsh
Patel, 22, and four friends were hiking on Sunday in the Apshawa Preserve in
the northern part of the state, about 40 miles from New York City. They
encountered a black bear, which began to follow them, according to the police
in West Milford, a township that includes the preserve.
The friends told the
police they scrambled to get away from the bear, all running in different
directions. Four of the men later found one another, and they called the police
to help search for their missing friend, according to the authorities. Mr.
Patel’s body was found about two hours later.
