Serial squirrel terrorizing residents in Queens

Residents of a Queens neighborhood are dealing with a squirrelly threat. Denizens of the New York City borough’s Rego Park neighborhood say an aggressive squirrel has jumped on them and bitten them for several weeks, WCBS-TV reported Dec. 30. Micheline Frederick pointed to a bruise on her wrist where she said the squirrel landed on her and then sank its teeth into her fingers and hand. “We’re wrestling in the snow and there’s blood everywhere and my fingers getting chewed and it won’t let go,” Frederick said. “Eventually, it just stopped and there I was, a big bloody mess.” A photo Frederick says she took after the attack shows a snowy pathway covered in blood. “This was an MMA cage match! And I lost!” she added. Two other neighbors told WCBS the squirrel had jumped on them, seemingly unprovoked. “These squirrels are aggressively going after people,” Vinati Singh said. The reason for the squirrel’s aggressive behavior is not clear. (AP) This article was provided by The Japan Times Alpha.
