Fox rampage ends as teens kick animal to death

A fox attacked three people in Suffolk Thursday morning.

The first attack occurred just after 6:00 a.m. at Sonic in the 1600 blk. of North Main Street. The male fox chased a 17-year-old employee of that business.

Just after 9 a.m., the fox was spotted at Barton Ford and then back at Sonic’s drive thru. The fox attacked an employee of Barton Ford, who had been operating a fork lift at that location. The person was scratched on the leg.

Animal Control was unable to locate the fox and traps were set.

Then the fox returned to Barton Ford and attacked a second employee but didn't injure the person's leg.

Then the fox was spotted back at Sonic, where it tried to attack the 17-year-old employee again. That teen kicked it against the building and dispatched the fox.
