A young girl was on the front stoop of a home in Ashford when she was attacked by a raccoon.

Video shows the girl trying to shake the raccoon off unsuccessfully.

Her mother, Logan Kelsey MacNamera, came to the rescue. She pulled the raccoon off her daughter's leg, held it in her hand for several moments while calling out to someone else off camera before tossing the raccoon across the front yard. The raccoon then walked away.

News 12 told they both mother and daughter have minor injuries.
