Fox attacks woman, rescuer
Published: July 1, 2009
WORCESTER, Mass. - A suspected rabid fox attacked a 76-year-old woman and went after a man who tried to help her, forcing a Worcester police officer to shoot the animal.
The Telegram & Gazette reported Wednesday that Robert Ford and a colleague were working outside a nearby home when they heard Wenyu Chen scream. They later saw a fox hang by her arm, with blood dripping from all over her body.
The fox bit Ford in the leg after he ran to help the victim. A police officer shot the animal, which was later euthanized and sent to a laboratory for testing.
Chen was hospitalized, and Ford was treated and released.
The fox previously snatched lunch from a boy standing outside with his father, attacked a cat and chased an elderly man into his home.

OK, so a democratic, disabled, minority, unemployed fox was shot…Uh oh…I can see a lawsuit coming. My guess is, in addition to the city, the police officer (who was abviously biased) and the elderly woman and man, the little boy and his family will be named as defendants too for putting something in the lunch he snatched that caused the attack in the first place.
Republicans are definitely to blame for this! Haven’t you heard of “Fox” news? Do you think that it’s just a coincidence?
that explains why he is attacking people. He now qualifies for disability~ he is stressed.
I bet he was an unemployed also.
Not only was it a democrat but it was a minority also.
what ever…. how does it relate to this poor little old lady being attacked by the fox. Was it a democratic fox?
Bush didn’t have a chance because Clinton dismantled the military. Why don’t you ask any military person who they support and I guarantee you it will not be a democrat.
Freak what does that have to do with anything? did Bush protect us from Rabid fox like he protected our boys in Iraq?
We didn’t have 12% unemploymnet either Freak!
We didn’t have rabid foxes when Bush was President.
