Moose on street chases, hurts 2 girls

EAGLE RIVER, Alaska — Police in Alaska said two girls playing in the street were injured when they were stomped on by a moose.

The Anchorage Daily News reported the girls, ages 11 and 6, were playing Monday when the moose chased them. Police in Eagle River said the girls ran to a nearby yard but the moose followed.

Police spokesman Dave Parker said the 6-year-old was severely stomped on her back and arm. He said the older girl was struck by the collapsing playground equipment and was treated and released at the scene. Parker said neighbors suspect the same moose had raised calves in the neighborhood in the past.
