Jogger runs mile with rabid fox locked on her arm

  PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - With a fox locked onto her arm, an Arizona jogger 
ran a mile to her car, where she was able to dislodge the animal, throw it 
into the trunk and drive to a Prescott hospital. The Yavapai County Sheriff's 
Office said the fox, which later attacked an animal control officer, tested 
positive for rabies. 
The unidentified Chino Valley resident told deputies she was on a trail 
Monday at the base of Granite Mountain when the fox attacked, biting her 
foot. The woman said she grabbed it by the neck when it went for her leg and 
it latched onto her arm. 

Thinking the fox was rabid, she wanted to make sure it didn't get away so she 
ran to her car, where she was able to pry open its jaws, wrap it in a sweat 
shirt and toss it into the trunk. 

The woman is receiving rabies vaccinations, as is the animal control officer.
