Fox Attack!

November 12, 2008

rabid-fox–In Arizona on Nov. 6th, a female jogger was attacked by a rabid fox,  ran a mile with the animal’s jaws clamped to her arm, and then drove herself to a hospital.  The woman was on a trail near Prescott when the fox attacked and bit her foot.  The woman grabbed the fox by the neck when it bit her foot, then the fox clamped onto her arm.  Upon reaching her car, the woman was able to disengage the fox from her arm and throw it into the trunk of her car while she drove to the Prescott hospital.

The fox later bit an animal control officer, who with the woman is receiving rabies vaccinations.

(We do not endorse biting people, unless of course they really deserve it!)
