Video Shows an Unknown Animal Attacking People in New Hampshire
Police said the animal has not been confirmed, and officials urged visitors to avoid wooded areas and report sightings as investigators work with state wildlife officers.
Lebanon police are investigating three animal attacks reported near Centerra Park over the past 36 hours. Authorities believe the same aggressive animal is responsible for all three incidents, which began Sunday and continued through Monday evening.
Investigators suspect the creature is a fisher or a gray fox, though official identification remains unconfirmed. Lebanon Police Chief Phil Roberts said the animal's unusually aggressive behavior is concerning and may be indicative of rabies.
Surveillance footage shows the small animal attacking a man near a U-Haul truck in a parking lot. Police are utilizing drones and foot patrols to locate the creature in an attempt to capture and test it.
Officials urge anyone visiting Centerra Park to remain cautious, particularly near wooded or brush-covered areas. Those bitten or scratched by the animal should seek immediate medical attention and report sightings to police.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is assisting local authorities in the search. Residents are asked to avoid wildlife, and officials emphasize that no one should attempt to feed or interact with the animal.
The wild animal attacked several people in the city of Lebanon, New Hampshire. For now, it is not known exactly what this species is, although the services have some suspicions. One of the incidents was recorded on video.
