WATCH: Bear Stuck In Tree In Summit, N.J. (VIDEO)

A black bear was stuck in a tree in New Jersey Friday, and there are reports that animal control is not staffed over the holiday to help.

Below is a video from NBC New York showing the bear as it was lodged in the tree on Friday afternoon.

There were reports that local animal control officers are not staffed over New Year’s Day to help rescue the bear from the Summit location, according to ABC Cleveland.

An alert went out around 8 a.m. that the bear had been seen off Ashland Road, and kids and parents, some in pajamas, all had their heads turned towards the sky to get a peek of the bear, according to CBS2.

“I looked out my window and I’m like, ‘What? There’s a bear out there!” one girl told CBS2’s Meg Baker.
