A WILD animal has been euthanized after a horrifying attack left four people hospitalized for rabies testing.
The crazed creature, a fox, attacked its victims in New Hampshire, including one woman who recounted the moment she felt “teeth plunging” into her back.


New Hampshire resident Denise Snyder opened up to ABC affiliate WCVB about how she was attacked near a fire pit.
She told the news outlet: “All of a sudden, I felt claws on my shoulder and before I could turn around, I felt teeth plunging into my back.”
Another woman, Dawn Vachon, was also among the victims and sustained deep and painful wounds after the fox bit her in her driveway.
Dawn explained how the fox wouldn’t let go while it was attacking, saying how her husband was “hitting him on the head, whacking him and whacking him.”
A worker for the U.S. Postal Service was also attacked outside the Rochester Post Office.
The fox also reported following employees who rushed into the building to get away from the animal.
Fish and Game Conservation Officer William Jones told WCVB: “We had received multiple calls yesterday, aggressive fox in the area.”

The officer said people called saying they noticed the fox out in the daylight and biting car tires.
He said it was, “strange behavior for what a fox should be doing” because foxes normally don’t get close to people.
Officer Jones said the last call made about the fox was the incident at the post office where it “made a negative interaction with a postal worker.”
The fox was euthanized shortly after and brought to the Department of Health and Human Services to get checked for rabies.
Officer Jone noted that although calls around this time of the year are normal for animals acting unusual, this instance was strange because the fox was aggressive.
He told the news outlet most animals would be struggling with balance or very tired.
In an effort to urge people to beware of rabies symptoms and get checked immediately, he said, “It could be a matter of weeks before symptoms start showing.
” But once they start showing, it’s a little bit too late.”
According to Jones, the rabies results will likely come back within two days and the DHHS will connect those victims with the results.
