The fox was taken by Bloomfield Animal Control and will be tested for rabies by experts working for the New Jersey State Fish, Game, and Wildlife Commission, New Jersey police said.
A fox believed to be responsible for several bite attacks in a New Jersey town last week has been killed by officers tracking its movements, police say.
A family who live in the area told NBC News 4 they had encountered the fox last Thursday as the mother and her 10-year-old daughter were walking their dog. The pair ran back to their home and got the attention of the father, who said he had to chase the animal away.NBC News 4 reported The man, who was not identified, said the fox returned the next morning and attacked another resident. The five victims have not been named by law enforcement. Police said anyone with questions about animal behavior can call Fish & Game Control at 908-735-8793.
"Eliminating healthy foxes is not warranted based solely on human safety concerns. People uncomfortable with the presence of foxes should remove attractants, exclude foxes with fencing and employ scaring techniques. In many cases, homeowner's perceptions of problems are unfounded and in some cases, the mere presence of a fox is perceived as a problem."
