Squirrel Goes Berserk in Germany

Thursday, June 14, 2007

Officials are testing a squirrel that leapt through a living room window and bit a woman, and that was just the start of its rampage.

The unusually aggressive squirrel bit three people in a German town before its last victim finished it off with a crutch, police said.

The rodent jumped through a living-room window in Passau, on the Austrian border, on Tuesday and bit its first victim. With the squirrel hanging on by its teeth, the woman ran out into the street, where she managed to shake the animal off.

The squirrel then bit a construction worker before running into a nearby garden, where it bit a 72-year-old man who eventually killed it with a crutch, police said.

The dead animal was to be tested for rabies.
