FOXBOROUGH, MA — There's a new gang in town trying to claim their turf, but they're a bit smaller and substantially less human than expected.

In recent days, Foxborough has experienced a problem with aggressive wild turkeys, with many residents detailing their experience on the Foxborough Discussion group. Meg Nelson wrote on Aug. 24 that the turkeys almost attacked a jogger near her home and nearly came into her residence when she gave the jogger safe refuge.

Debra Sabourin told NECN that a group of three followed her before attacking her legs. A neighbor helped fend off the group by throwing boots.
