CHINO HILLS, Calif. — A nanny pulled a 2-year-old girl from the jaws of a coyote when the animal attacked the toddler and tried to carry her away in its mouth, officials said.We see them around here every now and then, but so far they haven't carried off any kids.
The girl was playing Friday in a sandbox at Alterra Park in Chino Hills in San Bernardino County. Around 10:30 a.m., the caretaker heard screaming and saw a coyote trying to carry the child off in its mouth, officials said.
The babysitter grabbed the child and pulled her from the coyote's grasp, the sheriff's department said in a statement.
The coyote then ran off into nearby brush.
The child suffered wounds to her buttocks and was taken to Chino Valley Medical Center and was later released, director of nursing Anne Marie Robertson said. She was later transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center to receive the rabies vaccine.
And, from New York City:
NEW YORK — New York City police say a patrol horse found his own way back through Manhattan streets to his stable after throwing his rider. The officer has been treated for minor injuries.Smart horse. That New York City traffic will drive anyone crazy.
Traffic noise spooked the horse, named Aldo, yesterday on Prince Street in SoHo. The 8-year-old animal took off and beelined about eight blocks to the stable.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne says the horse "knows his turf."
Officer Martin Brown says Aldo suffered a few small cuts, and the 21-year police veteran riding him had some injuries to his neck and shoulder.
Aldo has been a police horse for about a year.
