Conservation officers are scouring Stanley Park in Vancouver for a coyote that bit a young boy.

The Conservation Officer Service says in a statement that the 5 year old was bitten on the leg Tuesday night.

The statement says the boy had run ahead of his family while they were visiting Prospect Point.

His parents were able to scare the coyote away and the youngster was not seriously hurt.

It's the latest in a series of confrontations between humans and coyotes in the park, with most nips on passing joggers.

However, a 2 year old was bitten last month and needed hospital care.
