The town supervisor of North Salem is warning of a possibly
rabid coyote that attacked two people on Thursday night.
The warning was
posted by Warren Lucas around 5 p.m.
Thursday, and suggests one person was bitten on the leg and suffered a puncture
wound.
They had been walking with a companion on Turkey Hill Road
in the late afternoon when the attack occurred.
Lucas added that the animal is presumed to be rabid due to
the fact that it attacked the tires of a car that stopped to help.
