In Stroudsburg, Pa., there was a 77 year old grandmother who allegedly pinned down a fox that bit her. She managed to hold on to it until help finally arrived. She was attacked when she was outside their farmhouse tending her petunias.

She pushed the animal to the ground after it bit her and held the jaw shut while the other arm flagged a passing driver with the other. Her teenage grandson shot the animal.

She lost a huge amount of blood from the 7 leg and arm wounds. She went into surgery just to clean out those wounds. She spent four days confined in the hospital after the attack. She has been taking a lot of antibiotics and pain medicine to help speed the recovery.

Tests on the fox indicated that it was indeed rabid. Initially, granny thought that her attacker was a dog. To her surprise, she just pinned down a rabid fox.
