Family attacked by rampant rodent

A mother and son were attacked by a grey squirrel as they walked near to their home in Swindon.

The squirrel repeatedly attacked Martine Browne as she tried in vain to scare it away after it pounced on her three-year-old's head.

Ms Browne, 25, was taken to Swindon's Great Western Hospital for treatment on her hands and arm after the rampant rodent repeatedly bit her.

She had pointed the animal out to her son and six-year-old stepdaughter.
