Update: Man Attacked By ‘Animal With Dark, Coarse Hair’

Jacksboro, TN (WATE) – A LaFollette, Tennessee man was transported to the hospital with what deputies say are “severe and significant injuries” after he was attacked early Friday morning.

Michael Savage, 27, was attacked in the Demory, High Knob and White Bridge Park area of Campbell County around 6 a.m., according to Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency (TWRA). He was transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center and is listed in stable condition.

Savage said he was attacked by an animal with dark coarse hair. TWRA said they cannot confirm the animal that attacked Savage was a bear, but they have issued a bear warning. They said that if there is an aggressive bear in the area, it will be euthanized.

Campbell County Sheriff Robbie Goins said Savage walked three miles to his house with “severe and significant” injuries before calling 9-1-1. Goins pleads for citizens in the area to be aware and extremely cautious for the presence of bear activity in the area.
