Squirrel Goes On Rampage

A squirrel has gone 'nuts' in a German town, attacking three people before being killed by a pensioner's crutch.

The bushy-tailed baddie found its way into the house of a woman in her 70s and started biting her.

She ran into the street in Passau with the rodent still chomping on her hand.

The next victim was a builder who used a pole to fend off the nutter as it clawed his hand and arm.

And the third victim - Guenther Mittelbaum - was mauled on his arm, hand and thigh.

But the 72-year-old fought back and squashed the squirrel with his crutch.

He told The Mirror: "I got in a lucky blow, saw my chance and crushed it to death."

Animal experts suspect the sharp-toothed squirrel may have been trying to protect its young or was ill.
