Remember the twin babies that were mauled by a fox last year?

Boy attacked by fox in bedroom
A mother has spoken of her horror after her five-year-old son was attacked by a fox in his bedroom - just yards from where twins were mauled by one of the animals last year.


6:27AM BST 27 Oct 2011

Annette Rook, 46, said she is scared that the urban pest will return after it targeted her son Marius in south Hackney, east London.

The latest shocking incident has sparked new calls for action to combat the growing menace of roaming foxes.

Marius woke up screaming one night last week as a marauding fox was about to sink its teeth into his head, his mother said.

The animal had crept into the third-floor bedroom of the house in Victoria Park Road in the early hours.

The fox sneaked up after burglars forced open a window and stole thousand pounds worth of valuables.

Mrs Rook ran to Marius' room to find her terrified son crying and complaining about a pain in his ear.

Annette, a headteacher at nearby Lawdale Junior School, said: "I was hugging him. I thought he had had a bad dream. But then the fox started across the bedroom."

She immediately rang 999 to alert police about the fox as she comforted her son.

Police used a noose to drag the aggressive animal from their home - only to let it go in their garden.

"It is very scary to think what it was trying to do," said Annette, a mum-of-two. "I believe officers should have destroyed it.

"If it had been a dangerous dog trying to bite a child, surely it would have been destroyed.

"Now I am very concerned that this fox will come back again."

A Met Police spokesman said cops had received no report of a fox attack and that "other options" would have been considered if they had.

But Annette insists she made the danger clear and voiced her fears about the fox returning.

Twins Lola and Isabella Koupparis were almost killed by a fox in June last year in an attack which shocked the nation.

Fashion designer Pauline Koupparis, 41, wept as she told how she found her babies had been ripped apart in their £800,000 home in Hackney. Isabella was left fighting for life while her sister Lola's face was described by their mother as 'looking like something from a horror movie'.

The fox crept in through open sliding French windows and padded upstairs into the girls' bedroom. Mrs Koupparis, a former merchandising head for British Home Stores, said at the time: 'It's like a nightmare, it's like a living nightmare. '

That's the only way I can describe it, to be honest.

'It's something I would never expect to happen to anybody, let alone happen to my beautiful girls.~ Isabella and Lola are still both recovering from the horrifying assault but both could be left scarred for life.'

Boy is attacked by a fox and they let it go? Does anyone question the idea of rabies anymore? The cops had no reports of a fox attacking people; that doesn't mean that people weren't attacked by one. How many people will call the cops if they a bit by everything? Chances are, not many. Because in their mind, they are thinking: "damn animal bit me. It's what animals do."

Foxes running in houses and trying to bite people is not normal. They should have checked for rabies

That's just it: it's not normal behavior. Unless they were grabbed, foxes don't go up and bite you unless there is something seriously wrong with it.

Burgled and mauled on the same night, that's gotta suck big time.
