Angry squirrel has residents going nuts in Prospect Park
Park Goers Urged to Keep Away from this Raging ‘Rocky’
One year ago, the borough was dealing with crafty raccoons that were invading neighborhoods including Park Slope, Crown Heights, Sunset Park and Carroll Gardens.
This time, the problem is an aggressive squirrel that has attacked at least five people in Prospect Park, according to a report from ABC News. This is certainly no friendly Rocket J. Squirrel, as this “anti-Rocky” has bitten five individuals between July 18 and 20. Four of the five bite victims have been identified.
But the problem seems to have dissipated as the raging rodent has not been spotted in the past few days. The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation has conducted an extensive search for the critter and come up empty-handed.
