SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Residents of a San Francisco Bay Area city are on the lookout for an aggressive squirrel that has sent at least two people to the emergency room for medical treatment.
Joan Heblack told ABC affiliate KGO-TV that she was walking in the Lucas Valley neighborhood of San Rafael when a squirrel seemingly came out of nowhere and attacked her leg, clawing and biting. “It clamped onto my leg. The tail was flying up here. I was like, ‘Get it off me, get off me!’,” Heblack said.
Isabel Campoy also said she was attacked while walking in the same area. The squirrel launched itself from the ground to her face and wound up on her arm, leaving it bloody, she said. Both women went to the emergency room, the TV station reported in its Monday story.
Flyers have now been posted, warning residents that the squirrel is no joke and that more than five people have been attacked by a ”very mean squirrel” that “comes out of nowhere.”

ReplyDeleteThe squirrels around here respect a 10 yard buffer zone around our house, I call it 22LR training. Rats with bushy tails.
ReplyDeleteWith all the drugs and other stuff left on the ground in that area not wonder you have a crazed squirrel running around and causing hate and discontent. Good on that squirrel.

That is abnormal behavior for a squirrel. They are fortunate that this one just seems to be abnormal instead of rabid.
ReplyDeletePecan thieving tree rats. Low on the list of critters I want to eat but when prepared right, not terrible.
