New Hampshire man describes animal attack seen in viral video
The victim said the animal bit his foot and leg, and he has since undergone multiple rounds of rabies shots, officials said.
- On Sunday, Zack Howard of Enfield, New Hampshire, was attacked by an aggressive animal in a Lebanon parking lot at FitKids ChildCare, with surveillance video of the encounter going viral nationwide.
- Howard, who parked his truck at FitKids ChildCare, said he retaliated after the animal bit his foot, describing it as "100% a fox in my mind" based on its tail and orange underbelly.
- Although the bite did not draw blood, the puncture through his running shoe necessitated multiple rounds of rabies shots; this incident was one of three animal attacks reported in the area over the past week.
- Lt. James Kneeland with New Hampshire Fish and Game has patrolled the area throughout the week, noting that the animal's aggression "wouldn't be normal for a healthy wild animal," raising concerns it could be sick.
- While no additional attacks have been reported, officials have yet to confirm the animal's species; Howard joked about the viral spread, saying "He's got bigger issues than I've got right now.
