Eagle Rock -- A photo of what appears to be a bear wandering neighborhood streets tonight has residents taking to social media to track its movement.
"So there’s a bear strolling down the sidewalk in #EagleRock," said LA City Librarian John Szabo on Twitter "Chopper overhead now looking."
LAPD spokesman Tony Im said the Northeast Division has advised residents that a bear has been spotted in the area. But officers had been assigned to look for the animal, he said.
But unconfirmed reports on social media had it on Hill Drive near Live Oak View, just south of the 134 Freeway. There was a report that the bear was captured on College View but that's not been confirmed either.
Even if the bear sighting is not true, it's been fun to read the posts on Twitter:

I can only assume the Eagle Rock Bear is in my living room because these helicopter searchlights certainly are.

We can provide you with more community news -- but we need your help
For more than a decade, The Eastsider has brought you community news you can’t find anywhere else. Nearly every day since it launched, The Eastsider has told you about the people, the issues and the events going on in your neighborhood. But you may not realize all this happens with only one full-time employee — me. I am fortunate to have a handful of talented, part-time workers and freelance writers. Readers have been generous with story ideas and photos. However, for The Eastsider to keep growing, I will need more help.
That’s why I'm seeking to raise $25,000 by the end of the year to hire a part-time assistant editor, who can free me up to spend more time ensuring we bring you more of the news you need. I would be grateful for your help in reaching that goal.
Please make a one-time contribution or, better yet, become a sustaining Reader Sponsor with a monthly contribution by filling out the form below.
Many thanks!
