Jogger Encounters Rabid Fox

A jogger ran a mile with a rabid fox’s jaws clamped on her arm in Prescott, Ariz. The woman was running on a trail when the fox attacked and bit her foot. She grabbed it by the neck, but the fox then bit her arm. It didn’t let go.

The runner wanted the fox tested for rabies, so she ran to her car, pried the fox off her arm and trapped it in her trunk. She then drove to the hospital.

The fox later bit an animal control officer. Both the officer and the runner have since received rabies vaccinations.
