                Australian politician injured in kangaroo attack
                By Jethro Mullen, CNN

                (CNN) -- An Australian politician suffered gashes to one of his 
legs when a close encounter with a kangaroo during his morning jog turned 
violent.

                Shane Rattenbury, a minister for the local government that 
manages the territory around the Australian capital, Canberra, said he bumped 
into the animal early Thursday as he was running along the side of a hedge in a 
suburban neighborhood.

                "I didn't see the kangaroo, and it didn't see me," he said by 
phone on Friday. "It started hopping around, it was a bit panicked. I ducked 
for cover and ended up on the ground. The kangaroo jumped on me in its attempt 
to get away."
