Mountain lion attacks man
By The Associated Press Monday, March 03, 2008


RAPID CITY -- A Rapid City man says he was attacked by a mountain lion.


Ryan Hughes says he was ice fishing Saturday at Sheridan Lake, and a lion jumped him as he left the ice and stepped into the woods.

Hughes says the lion had a fresh kill in its mouth.

Before he could react, Hughes says the big cat jumped on top of him, knocking him on his back.

Hughes says he put his hands in front of his face and started kicking wildly.

The lion retreated, but it left the man with deep gashes on his arm, and scratches and punctures on his face.

Hughes says he reported the attack to the Game, Fish & Parks Department.
