CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago authorities say a young boy walking with an adult outside a Lincoln Park nature museum was bitten by a coyote.

Fire Department spokesman Larry Merritt says the attack on the 5-year-old occurred outside the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum on Wednesday.

The boy was bitten about the head several times before he and the woman sought refuge on a bus. The boy was taken to Lurie Children's Hospital, where he was reported in stable condition.

Police say the coyote ran north through the park after the attack and Chicago Animal Care and Control officers are searching for the animal.
