Days after a sheriff's deputy in Maryland opened fire on an aggressive groundhog, another groundhog terrorised a woman a few kilometres away, authorities said.
Yesterday, the Humane Society of Carroll County, the county's contractor for animal control services, received a call that a groundhog had "come after" a woman when
she arrived at work in Eldersburg, Maryland, said Karen Baker, the organisation's executive director.
The woman took refuge in her car, Baker said.
When other people at her office came out of the building to help her, the groundhog menaced them, leading them to retreat inside.
The groundhog was gone by the time animal control officers arrived at the scene, Baker said, so they set a trap.
