New York City is not known for hair-raising animal experiences â save for the odd pizza-loving rat â but one city neighborhood is being subjected to an unwelcome slice of the wild by being terrorized by a highly aggressive squirrel.
At least three people in Rego Park, in the borough of Queens, have been jumped upon and bitten by the possibly deranged squirrel in recent weeks. The tree-based rodentâs reign of terror has made some people in the area afraid to go outside without being armed with pepper spray or other anti-squirrel weaponry.
âA few people are quite scared,â Micheline Frederick, a local resident, told Guardian US. Frederick was herself targeted by the squirrel in a bloody attack on 21 December, when she was holding her front door open for furniture movers.
