Two foxes attacked and bit a Woolwich man doing working in his backyard on Nequasset Pines Road Thursday. James Collins, 79, said he was weed wacking when he was knocked to the ground by two young foxes. Collins estimated they were about five or six months old. Collins said he struck one fox several times until it ran away. He was able to get to his back steps, where the second fox charged at him. Collins said he struck the fox multiple times with a cane until both animals ran away toward a brook beyond his backyard, where he believes their den is located. He was bitten several times on his arms and legs and received medical treatment for rabies.
