FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (FOX 10) -- Officials with Flagstaff Police announced on Monday that two foxes that are believed to be rabid were involved in attacks on citizens in the area.

According to the statement, in one incident, a fox jumped into the bed of a pickup truck and bit a person in the area of Settlers Run and Bear Paw. That fox then ran off, and officials believe it was captured a few hours later in the area of Taylor and Hulet, after another attack was reported.
