Greensboro police said out of the attacks over the weekend, four people were bitten.
Parks and Recreation officials said they suspect the animal is probably sick and want to prevent people from encountering the wild animal. They were all in the general vicinity of the Lake Brandt Marina, but within different sections about a mile radius where we were seeing those particular incidents, said Jennifer Hance of Greensboro Parks and Recreation.
Guilford County Animal Control workers placed humane traps along the trails to help catch the wild animal.
Greensboro Parks and Recreation urged residents to use open mountain bike trails at Country Park, Reedy Fork, Blue Heron, Kingfisher, or Rich Fork until the wild animal is removed from the park.
