An aggressive squirrel attacked and injured three people in a German town before a 72-year-old pensioner dispatched the rampaging animal with his crutch. Squirrel goes on rampage, injures 3 – Reuters.com [^]
For a small, furry, kinda cute, little creature they sure seem to cause a fair bit of havoc. This just goes to show that the Swindon incident wasn’t a one off. Although it does show one thing – those German pensioners are a tough bunch – taking on a squirrel with a crutch. It obviously wasn’t one of these giant Cornish Squirrels.
Metro.co.uk have still got their version story on their website – “Psycho squirrel attacks Germany” [^]. It’s interesting to see that under the story itself there is a long list of hyperlinks to other Squirrel Attack stories. Who would have thought that small and furry could be so aggressive?
