“When I called 911, the operator, I had to leave a message because I thought this was going to be my last time that I was talking to my wife.”
Williams has lived in his Beaubassin East home for 27 years, and nothing like this has ever happened before. Beaubassin East is located in southern N.B., about 25 minutes from Moncton.
He said he first saw the bear last week, and it tried to attack him once before Thursday night.
