Slow News Day: NY Woman Attacked by Woodchuck

Slow news day? CBS 6 in Albany is reporting that a woman is undergoing rabies treatments after she was attacked by a woodchuck while watering the flowers outside her Queensbury home.

The Post-Star of Glens Falls says the woodchuck attack happened Wednesday morning on her front lawn. She says she saw the animal charging at her and ran for her front door. She never made it to the door as she stumbled and fell on the lawn. The woodchuck reportedly bit her shin, but she distracted it by throwing a pillow that was on a porch bench. Once the animal was distracted, she was able to make it through her front door. The town's animal control officer says the animal is suspected to have rabies based on its behavior. A search for the animal is ongoing, though authorities haven't found anything as of yet.
