Town of Lewisboro Supervisor Peter H. Parsons says he was alerted by the Westchester County Department of Health after a fox bit a person and dog during a morning walk last Wednesday in the Northern Westchester County area of Waccabuc.
Parsons did not release the gender of the person bit or provide any updates on the person or the pet dog. While it hasn't been confirmed, Parsons says it's likely the fox was rabid, because foxes typically only attack if they are rabid or protecting their young.
"These animals tend to bite if they are rabid or are protecting their pups. We do not know if this fox is rabid but wanted to alert the community of this situation," Parsons wrote on Facebook.
