WATCH: (Scroll Down) Police in Alaska wanted to talk to a man who donned a fairly realistic bear costume and wore it when harassing the local bears and two sows trying to feed on salmon in an Alaskan river.
The incident happened on Monday night on the Chilkoot River near Haines, said Alaska Fish and Game Assistant Mark Sogge.
It wasn’t immediately known what the man was trying to accomplish.
A crowd had gathered at a weir, used to count fish, because the sow and two cubs have frequently been showing up there to feed during the salmon run.
The crowd, which is kept at a safe distance from the weir, became startled when a man decked out in a bear outfit ran through the area Monday evening.
The man began to jump up and down, and then got close to the cubs, within five to 10 feet, Sogge said.
