Without clicking the link this sounds like that nutter in the Houston area. Many people in the city feed them and they really become pests on several levels. I was expecting the woman who was bitten on the arm, grabbed it, and threw it to the ground to say that she stomped it to death after tossing it off of her. I think that was the woman who opened the door after hearing it chewing on her front door and was then attacked. 


I also would have thought the man would have gone to the hospital to be treated for potentially contracting rabies, not tetanus. 


Well after reading it it’s another nutter in the UK. This is getting interesting. Thought it was this story from last year. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2020/01/15/squirrel-terrorizing-local-neighborhood-has-already-sent-two-mothers-to-the-hospital/
 
in some cases it really is not a joke ... its the reason i got into airguns .... they were so bad at this place when i bought it they were gnawimg into the attic, chewing wires, chewing water pipes, playing chase back an forth across the roof all day .. i had something i had to fix every few days ... and trying to garden, forget it, your planting seed and turn around theyre right behind you digging them up lol, no exaggeration .. rabbits to, just about as bad ... and i jave neigjbors pretty close although it is legal to shoot firearms here, ettiquet says no, dont blast off firearms left and right very often unless you want a full retard response lol ... so went to springers .. in a real scenario like that theyre completely inadequate, ' oh but my super duper spwinger is acuwate' .. yeah right one pop maybe you get one and the other 100 are wise and you rarely get another one especially on longer shots .. so went to pcp, quieter, more accurate with longer shots period end of discussion ... from that point i was bagging 6, 10+ a day for awhile, thrn at a reduced rate for some time after that ..lost count but at that time 'the war' produced probably some 200 casualties and we got things under control .. squirrrls can be mean though .. theyll chase my chickens out of the coop sometimes .. thats when they die ... but i leave several alive around here, i do like wildlife, birds and even a squirrel in the yard .. just not out of control infestation ..
 
They run when they see me in the yard. I've shot enough they don't stick around, let alone "attack". My dog wants to catch one but has only gotten a rabbit so far. I had a lot more when I moved here. One liked to chew on my gutters. That was the first one I shot. Now I drop them at every opportunity during hunting season. I never get within 15 yards on one in my yard. When I walk the dog I may get a little closer. 
 
Crock pot fodder boys, I eat every one I can get they shy away from my place because they have figured out if they come too close they don't get back home. Lucky for me I have an Aunt with a pecan grove.

Lucky you. You get nutters and pecans. Our trees performed horribly this year. I don’t know about eating city squirrels. I’ve seen them eating out of trash cans and eating all sorts of crap. If they’re attacking people I think I’d lay em to rest in the interest of public safety. 
 
I've tried to relay the severity of the situations I have encountered on the (plant)nursery where I work in some of my hunting posts. The fight against the evils of squirreldom is never ending. Their twisted little minds, rotten souls, and black hearts only have one goal: complete and utter world domination! 

People say it to me all the time- "But they're so cute". Or "Squirrels are harmless". Or "Squirrels couldn't take over the world". Or "Hey buddy, are you off your meds with all this crazy squirrel talk?" But those of us who have gotten close enough to look into a squirrels eye(through a scope), know that they represent a clear and present danger to our way of life. Anyone who has stared into the abyss of a squirrel's soulless black eyes can see the contempt squirrels have for humanity and the unstoppable desire to rule the world. A squirrel(any rodent for that matter) would love nothing better than to charge you, tear a vein out of your neck and rip you to shreds along with everyone you love. Humanity has gotten soft and now, squirrels are seizing on the opportunity to attack.

In these uncertain times, only one thing is for sure: squirrels are hellbent on destroying society as we know it, and enslaving humanity to toil on endless acres of tree nut farms. It is up to the few, the proud, the airgunners to keep their relentless advances at bay. Stay strong AGN!😝
