Rescuers caught a black bear sedated and covered with a tarp as it fell from a tree after wandering into a residential area in the United States.

Authorities were forced to tranquilize the animal after it took shelter in a tree in Camp Hill, near Harrisburg. Pennsylvania.

Students and staff at a nearby school were told to stay home during the drama, according to local news website Pennlive.com.

Wildlife officials worked with public safety and emergency rescue teams to safely capture the bear.

Firefighters and rescue workers used a ladder vehicle to approach the animal so they could administer a tranquilizing injection.

The sedated animal fell about six meters onto a large blue tarp held by several wildlife officials, as well as police officers and firefighters.

The bear did not appear to be fully grown and will likely be relocated elsewhere in central Pennsylvania.
