Fox tries a new restaurant - causes panic


SALISBURY, Md. -
A bizarre fox attack at a Salisbury steak house had patrons and employees jumping and scrambling for cover.
The attack happened near closing time Thursday, when customers encountered a wild fox in the parking lot. Feeling threatened, they ran inside the slow-release door at Chef Fred's Chesapeake Steakhouse, Bar & Grill. The fox followed them inside.
"It was a bizarre thing," said Sara Hall, a manager at Chef Fred's Chesapeake Steakhouse, Bar & Grill. "I've never been so scared in my life."
Once inside the building, the fox scampered into the dining room area, into the bar area and back to the dining area, causing employees and patrons to take cover. Several jumped onto tables or chairs.
Hall told The (Salisbury) Daily Times that she went to discover what was causing the ruckus, when the fox lunged at her and bit her hand.
"One of the bouncers at the bar starts to choke the fox, and it still wouldn't let go," Hall said.
Employees eventually got the fox outside, where it ran off. MagazineLane.com
