Black Bear 'Knocks' at Front Door of Windsor Business

The bear followed an employee and peered inside the glass door, seemingly hoping to get inside.

A black bear that has been spotted hanging around a dumpster at a Windsor business recently got a little bolder over the weekend and followed an employee to the front door and stood on its hind legs and peered inside.

Michael Lindsey, owner of Lindsey Limousine at 200 Addison Rd., told WFSB 3 that on Saturday a female employee spotted the black bear around the corner and ran back inside and the bear followed her and put its paws on the glass door.

Fortunately, nobody was hurt.
