A vicious squirrel is on the loose in Novato, California.
The day after Thanksgiving, 87-year-old Richard Williams engaged in a life-and-death battle with a squirrel terrorizing his neighborhood after the crazed rodent slipped into his garage.
“He charged me and jumped, and from then on, the battle started,” Willams told KPIX CBS 5.
Aside from smashing his glasses, the squirrel also managed to injure Williams’ head, arm and legs.
“He was really vicious. He was clawing and scratching,” he said. “I was trying to get him off. Every time I’d get him off, he’d jump back up again.”
After hearing his screams, Richard’s 83-year-old wife, Norma, rushed to the scene and joined the battle. She picked up a broom and tried to hit the squirrel with it. The rodent, however, would not give up without a fight.
“And then he jumped her,” Richard Williams narrated. “I was able to grab him by the tail, threw him on the garage floor and he seemed stunned.”
The squirrel then raced off as a neighbor rushed the couple to the hospital for treatment. Both received dozens of rabies and tetanus shots to prevent infection.
The same squirrel is suspected of attacking five others in the last two weeks in the surrounding neighborhood, including a teacher and student at Pleasant Valley Elementary. Animal control officers have been patrolling the area to search for the squirrel. Warning flyers have also been posted.[1]
