Wildlife officers with the Colorado Division of Wildlife are searching for a bear involved in an attack Thursday night in Aspen. A man living in the Meadowood Drive area off Castle Creek on the west side of Aspen was reportedly attacked in his home by a bear shortly after 8 p.m.

The victim is undergoing treatment for his injuries, which are not considered life threatening, according to the Division of Wildlife.

Preliminary details indicate that the homeowner's three dogs began barking loudly in the ground floor of the house, according to a statement released by the Division of Wildlife. When the homeowner went downstairs to check on the dogs, he was confronted by a large, black bear. The man was struck by the bear but managed to open a window, allowing the bear to leave the house, the DOW said.

Wildlife officers have set a trap for the bear at the site and are patrolling the neighborhood. If captured, the bear will be euthanized for the attack.

As of Friday afternoon, the victim was still being treated at an area hospital.
