A neighborhood in New York is terrorized by hyper-aggressive squirrels. Watch a report on rodent rage here:
Some residents of Rego Park, Queens, are now scared to go outside after a series of squirrel attacks in the area.
Micheline Frederick is a victim whose bite wounds still heal after she was assaulted by mistletoe.
Speaking to WCBS-TV, she said: “You hear someone was bitten by a squirrel, you’re like,” Okay, you have a little rain, what’s the matter? ” “But that was … this was an MMA cage match! And I lost! “
“We fight in the snow and there is blood everywhere and my fingers are chewed and do not let go.
“Eventually, it just stopped and there was a lot of bloody mess.”
Micheline received a rabies stroke as a precaution after the December 21 attack and tried to warn her neighbors – but few things can be done when they strike.
Vinati Singh said squirrels “aggressively pursue people”, including her husband twice.
He said: “Basically, he grabbed the plastic bag I had, tried to get my foot up. I was able to repel them. It was the first time.
“The second time he was right here when I tried to get in.”
At least three other people in the area have reported being attacked by a squirrel, but it is unclear if this is just a psychotic guy or some kind of brutal squirrel cartel terrorizing the neighborhood.
8 months agoThe traps have now been laid, but the culprit (s) have not yet been caught. Meanwhile, Anita Singh Sood is not taking any chances.
Speaking to ABC7 NY, she said: “When we have to leave the house, we have to wear one of my mother’s house pepper sprays to make sure that if the squirrel comes to us, we spray it.”
The New York Department of Health said the squirrel is unlikely to have rabies.
He said: “The New York Department of Health has received a complaint about an aggressive squirrel in Rego Park and has advised the property owner to hire a licensed New York State trapper.
“Squirrels and many other small rodents are rarely infected with rabies.
“If New Yorkers think they’ve noticed a rabies-infected animal, they should report it to 311.”
