At least one black bear cub was left a bit traumatized after being pulled out of a tree, along with another cub, by people seeking photos.

Video shot by a witness outside an apartment complex in Asheville, North Carolina, on Tuesday showed a group of people pulling two struggling cubs out of the low branches of a tree and attempting to pose with them for photos.

At one point, one of the cubs can be seeing struggling free and running away while a person chases it.

Staffers from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission were called to the scene after a cub bit one of the people, the wildlife agency said in a press release Thursday.

A cub was then located sitting alone, lethargic and frightened in a retention pond at the complex, NCWRC biologist and bear specialist Ashley Hobbs said in the press release. The cub was wet and shivering and was favoring one of its front paws, indicating a possible injury.

The cub was obviously a bit traumatized, after the ordeal, Hobbs told the Asheville Citizen Times .
