A woman jogging in Arizona was attacked by a rabid fox on a trail near Prescott, and she just kept on running. The fox initially bit her foot so she grabbed it and pulled it away, but then it bit her arm - and she let it.
The woman wanted the animal tested for rabies so she ran a mile to her car with the fox still biting her arm, then pried it off and tossed it in her trunk and drove to the Prescott hospital.
The sheriff's office says the fox later bit an animal control officer. He and the woman are both receiving rabies vaccinations.
