DARTMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - A woman in Dartmouth said she was attacked by a coyote over the weekend.
Kathy Normore said she was going to her mailbox Saturday when the coyote bit her arm.
“Out of the corner of my eye, I see something. It was the size of a German shepherd. It wasn’t small and it just latched onto my left arm,” Normore said.
Normore said the coyote snuck over to her without any barking or growling. She is now receiving a series of rabies shots.
“We need to do something. I mean, I don’t want to kill anything. I don’t even want to kill an ant, but I just got bit and these shots are not fun,” Normore said.
Normore said she hears coyotes in her neighborhood but has never seen one up close.
“There were like 20 of them that were jumping over the wall and, of course, I come out here with my dog — I keep her on a leash — but I’m even afraid to come and walk my dog outside because of this incident now,” Normore’s neighbor said.
