More than 15 people stung by bees at Phoenix strip mall

PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities say more than 15 people have been attacked by bees at a central Phoenix strip mall.

Phoenix Fire Department say crews stabilized the scene Friday afternoon by spraying the bees with foam.

They say more than 20 people complained of getting stung multiple times by the bees, but most were treated and released at the scene.

But fire officials say a 24-year-old man is the only one person taken to a hospital so far. There’s no immediate word on his condition and his name hasn’t been released.

The bee attack was near an Islamic mosque on North 32nd Street and McDowell Road.
