“I hear this terrible screaming; I look over and there’s this fox hanging off her arm,” Mr. Dupont said. He has worked as a wildlife specialist for 27 years. “The fox bit her arms, her legs, blood is dripping everywhere.” “He was rabid for sure,” Mr. Ford, 44, of Worcester, said in a telephone interview from his hospital bed in the emergency room at UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus, shortly after the attack. “This animal was tearing her up. I just ran up and punted it off of her.” The fox walked a short distance from the woman after releasing her from his jaw, and Mr. Ford said he started yelling at her to run into the house. The woman made it safely into the house, but the fox immediately started coming after him. The attack victim, who was not identified by authorities, remained hospitalized today. “She was a complete mess; she came out of the house on a stretcher. There was blood on her hands, face, back, legs, arms; all her clothes were bloody. Bobby Ford was a hero for stepping in,” Mr. Dupont said...Telegram
