Connecticut Man Says Bobcat Attacked Son In Backyard
/ CBS New York
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (CBSNewYork) – A Connecticut man says a bobcat attacked his 12-year-old son in their backyard.
He said it happened shortly before 7:30 a.m. Monday on Brett Road in Fairfield.
The boy suffered a minor scratch to his finger, and his shirt was torn.
Police said a neighbor's surveillance video shows a bobcat in the area the week before.
"This is a very uncommon occurrence and not typical behavior of a bobcat," the department posted on Facebook. "Bobcats are typically very elusive and rarely allow people to get close, which is the opposite of what happened in this incident."
