Global News has confirmed with Alberta Justice that a pipeline worker was attacked by a cougar near Grande Prairie Friday afternoon.
The attack happened about 90 kilometres south of the city, around 3 p.m.
The victim’s injuries do not appear to be life threatening, and a cougar was shot dead by RCMP.
Fish and Wildlife are now working to confirm the cougar is the same one that attacked the worker.
