Jogger runs a mile with fox attached to arm
A jogger ran for a mile with a fox attached to her arm after it attacked her while she exercised.
The woman from Arizona had been out on a run at the base of Granite Mountain when the wild fox attacked her leg.
When she tried to grab it and throw it off, it locked it's teeth into her arm and refused to let go.
As if spurred on by the fact it would give us a great headline, the woman calmly ran a mile back to her car where she was finally able to dislodge the animal and drive to a medical centre.
She trapped the snappy and possibly rabid fox in the boot of the car for testing, but as an Animal Control Officer tried to get it out, they too were bitten.
A spokesman for Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office said: "It is very difficult to prevent the attack of a wild rabid animal once in progress.
"Although containing the animal for testing is beneficial, immediate treatment is always the priority."
