Several bear traps have been set at the scene. According to the DNR, the goal is to euthanize the bear and assess its condition.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is investigating after officials say a black bear attacked a 69-year-old woman Saturday afternoon. The woman reported the attack that happened near the town of Comstock in Barron County around 2 p.m. She was able to call 911 and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Her condition remains unknown.
