Bear captured in downtown Allentown

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) -- It was an unusual sight for residents in downtown Allentown Saturday morning when a bear decided to take a walk through town.

The bear was spotted about a block away from where organizers were setting up for a big blues festival.

Crews followed the bear to a tree and were able to tranquilize him.

Experts say the bear looks to be about a year old and was likely recently separated from his mother.

They say he was probably looking for a good meal.

He'll be tagged and released back into the wild.
