NOVATO (CBS-SF) – The last thing Richard Williams expected when he started doing chores in the garage of his Novato home the day after Thanksgiving was that he would soon be in a life-and-death battle with a crazed squirrel.
The 87-year-old Williams said the squirrel that has been terrorizing the neighborhood slipped into the garage through an open door.
“He charged me and jumped, and from then on, the battle started,” he told KPIX CBS 5.
The squirrel turned Williams’ head, arm and legs bloody. It also smashed his glasses.
“He was really vicious. He was clawing and scratching,” he said. “I was trying to get him off. Every time I’d get him off, he’d jump back up again.”
So that’s where that squirrel ended up.

Go to the link Denny provided and read the comments. They’re great! I’ll bet that most of them will surely piss-off most of the limp-wristed denizens of San Fag-Cisco.
C’mon, man, the poor guy was 87 years old!
All squirrel lives matter.
Must be global warming.
The other day, my son who is a carpenter was working in an attic and a squirrel attacked him. Unfortunately for the squirrel my son had a loaded nail gun in his hand. One shot and he nailed him. No pun intended.
I raised a few squirrel babies over the years to adulthood.This is a calcium imbalance.All they have to do is throw a few eggshells near where he’s hanging out(yep,I’d bet it’s a male between 3 and 5 years old,that’s when this usually happens) and the squirrel will settle down.It wouldn’t hurt to throw out some corn and nuts for the little guy.I’ve found that the nail gun thing mentioned in another post works great when I catch someone squirrel hunting without permission on my property.
