dawnmipb: A ferocious squirrel went on the rampage in Germany this week, attacking three people before meeting its match in an angry 72-year-old.
Police in the southern town of Passau said the creature attacked a 70-year-old woman on Tuesday, sinking its teeth into her hand.
It next entered a building site and jumped on a construction worker, injuring his hand and arm before he fought it off with a pole.
A police spokesman said the squirrel then finally met its end - but it didn't go down without a fight.
"The squirrel went into the 72-year-old man's garden and attacked him on the arms, hand and thigh," the spokesman said. "Then he killed it with his crutch."
I don't think I've ever been to Passau. But interestingly enough, squirrels are not a primary rabies vector; raccoons and skunks tend to be carriers much more often than the wily shadowtail. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. The other half is leaping on old people and biting them repeatedly.
