Spa City PSA: Woman Bitten by Fox

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The city announced that last week, on the Railroad Run off of West Circular Street, an adult woman was bitten by a fox as she was walking. Incidents involving an aggressive fox were reported off of North Broadway this past week as well. 

The city says these types of actions by foxes are unusual and a reminder, is urging the public to exercise caution, should they come in contact with wildlife: 

Please be cognizant of unusual animal behavior and stay safe. Should you believe you are bitten or exposed to a sick wild animal, make sure to seek proper medical advice. The NYS Department of Environmental Services (EnCon Police) is aware of these incidents and report that these are likely gray foxes.
