Did you see that story Tuesday about the 75-year-old St. Augustine woman who was attacked by a raccoon? It’s one of the most-read stories on News4JAX.com.
The video is amazing.
A neighbor came to her rescue, but it took an hour and a half to wrestle the angry raccoon and save the woman from being bitten anymore.
She had to be hospitalized and treated for bites and the possibility of rabies.
Officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission finally came and “dealt” with the wild raccoon. (They managed to drag it out of the house and then shot it.)
On “The Morning Show” on Wednesday, a trapper, otherwise known as a “Wildlife Removal Technician,” shared about how common these attacks are and what you should do if you are confronted by a wild animal.
