Details Provided On Fox Incident

A woman is recovering after being bitten by a fox earlier this week.

Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter Director Jeff Roberts says that it happened on West Currahee Street near the old Toccoa Casket Company property.

Roberts says the woman was attacked by the fox and bit before people nearby killed the fox.

He says the fox was sent off for testing to see if it has rabies.

Meanwhile, Roberts says that the woman injured was taken to the hospital for treatment.
