Jogger Flees - Rabid Fox



Now this one is really scary. A jogger in Prescott, Arizona was attacked by a rabid fox and she ran for a mile with the animal's jaws clamped onto her arm. Then with the fox still biting her arm, she pried it off and tossed it into her trunk and drove to the Prescott hospital.

The woman told deputies that she was on a trail near Prescott on Monday when the fox attacked and bit her foot. She said she grabbed the fox by the neck when it went for her leg, but it bit her arm. She wanted it tested for rabies so she was bound and determined to get it to where it could be tested. The sheriff's office said the fox later bit an animal control officer. He and the woman are both receiving rabies vaccinations. That took alot of guts on the part of the woman jogger.
