From WTAE.com in Pittsburgh...
NORTH UNION TOWNSHIP, Pa. --
A Fayette County man needed nearly 300 stitches to close a gash in his arm after he was attacked by an unknown animal Tuesday night.Wanda Knopsnider told WTAE Channel 4 Action News' Sheldon Ingram that noises were heard behind her camper in North Union Township, so her daughter's boyfriend, Adam Cravener, went to investigate.Cravener, 25, said he grabbed a baseball bat and went outside. When he found the animal, he said it bit him."It came out from right behind the camper," Cravener told Ingram. "It just happened so quick," he said.Cravener said it was too dark for him to get a good look at the animal. It was initially thought to be a bear attack but Cravener told Ingram he thought it would be difficult for a bear to fit in the space behind the camper."He didn't say what it was. He just said, 'It got me! It got me!'" Knopsnider said.Cravener need 294 stitches to close a 6-inch gash in his left forearm, Ingram reported.He spent the night at an area hospital but has since been released.Scott Tomlinson, the Game Commission's southwestern region supervisor, said their investigation shows nothing to substantiate that there was a bear in the area. They searched the area and talked to witnesses, none of whom saw a bear.
