WKMG LOCAL 6 NEWS
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Florida Highway Patrol trooper, a 3-year-old and an Orlando school worker were injured after being attacked by a wild squirrel.
Officers said the trooper was issuing a ticket during a traffic stop near Oakridge Children's Academy on Oakridge Road in Orlando Wednesday when the squirrel ran up and attacked him.
The officer was bitten before he could toss the squirrel off him.
Animal control officers were called to the area but before they could find the squirrel, it attacked and repeatedly bit a 3-year-old on a school playground.
A worker tried to remove the squirrel from the child and was also injured. Both were treated at hospitals. The boy is recovering at Arnold Palmer Hospital. The trooper was given antibiotics and released.
The squirrel remains on the loose in the area.
I guess they should have installed one of these, seen over at Swankisigns:
