Fox bites jogger, won't let go
Woman runs on for 1.5km
Prises it off, throws it in car boot
WHEN a woman out jogging was bitten by a rabid fox, she ran on for another 1.5km with the animal still attached to her arm and threw it into the boot of her car.
The woman was bitten on the foot by the fox while she out running near Prescott in Arizona, the Associated Press reported.
When it went for her leg, she grabbed it by the scruff of the neck, and that's when it bit her arm, the Yavapai County sheriff's office said.
The woman wanted the animal tested for rabies so she ran 1.5km to her car with the fox still biting her arm, then pried it off, threw it in the boot of her car and drove herself to hospital.
The fox later bit an animal control officer. He and the woman both received rabies vaccinations.
