A security guard at the St. Regis Aspen Resort in Colorado was attacked by a bear that had entered the hotel's kitchen. The guard surprised the bear, which swiped at him and knocked him down before he managed to escape and call for help. The guard was treated for scratches and released from the hospital. Wildlife officials responded to the scene but were unable to capture the bear. The incident serves as a reminder to give wildlife space and be "bear aware." The luxury resort has been closed for renovations.
