A Farmingdale man was bitten twice by a fox Tuesday outside his Blaine Road home, but officials say while the fox was killed, they don’t know whether it was rabid. David Polley was taking the trash out around 9:30 a.m. when he apparently surprised a fox outside. The fox bit him on the leg, and then on the hand when Polley tried to get the animal off his leg. When he arrived shortly after 10 a.m., Andrew Killen, an animal control officer with Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, was able to shoot it with a small caliber rifle.
