TOPSHAM, Maine (AP) A fox suspected of having rabies attacked at least three people in a town near Brunswick, Maine, on Saturday until it was shot.
The Times Record reports the Topsham police said they got multiple calls about an aggressive fox starting on Saturday morning.
The grey fox attacked at least two different people that were walking with their dogs and then chased another man into his house. That man shot the animal with a gun, killing it.
The fox will be tested for rabies at the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Vaccines against rabies are completely effective in humans, but it is fatal if left untreated.
