A fox attacked a man outside an auto repair shop in Tyrone, Georgia – just east of Atlanta – and the attack is caught on surveillance tape. In the video Walter Wilson tried to kick away a fox after it got his arm. But that didn’t stop the fox.
Wilson said, “He got back up came back for more and this time I was able to kick him pretty hard under the throat.” After that kick, the scraggly wild animal twitches on the ground but 14 seconds later, it gets back up, turns around and heads straight for the auto shop.
The owner shut it out but the fox still wouldn’t leave them alone. It ran under wooden pallets then came out and attacked a worker next door. They hit it with the fire extinguishers and then it went crazy and bit one of the other workers.
Tyrone Police Officer Todd Ruth says he decided he needed to stop the fox from hurting anyone else when it ran out of the building right towards him. “I didn’t know when he was going to jump up so I just decided to go ahead and take the shot.” One shot and the fight was over. The fox was dead. Now Wilson is recovering from puncture wounds and rabies shots - about 20 in all.
