Squirrel goes on rampage in Germany
Reuters - Thursday, June 14 01:12 pm
BERLIN (Reuters) - An aggressive squirrel attacked and injured three
people in a German town before a 72-year-old pensioner dispatched the
rampaging animal with his crutch.
The squirrel first ran into a house in the southern town of Passau,
leapt from behind on a 70-year-old woman, and sank its teeth into her
hand, a local police spokesman said on Thursday.
With the squirrel still hanging from her hand, the woman ran onto the
street in panic, where she managed to shake it off.
The animal then entered a building site and jumped on a construction
worker, injuring him on the hand and arm, before he managed to fight
it off with a measuring pole.
"After that, the squirrel went into the 72-year-old man's garden and
massively attacked him on the arms, hand and thigh," the spokesman
said. "Then he killed it with his crutch."
The spokesman said experts thought the attack may have been linked to
the mating season or because the squirrel was ill.
