’100% saved their friend’s life’: Cyclists bravely defend against cougar attack on trail

Five cyclists were attacked by a cougar while on a trail near Fall City Saturday afternoon. A 60-year-old woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries to her face, neck, and jaw, according to the WDFW. The woman has since been released from the hospital. “It jumped from the side of the road and latched onto her, and her friends were able to detach and fight this thing off,“ said Sgt. Carlo Pace, with the WDFW Police. “They 100% saved their friend’s life,“ said Pace. “They were able to pin down a good size lion with its claws and teeth and everything else under a mountain bike until we arrived.” -------------------------------------------------- For more on the lead story: _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook: KOMO News on Twitter: KOMO News on Instagram: KOMO News on TikTok: @komo4seattle Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube: Watch more top local news stories: For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit Watch our live newscasts and other live video at Download our iOS App: Download our Android App: Have a news tip?
