angry squirrel
A little squirrel caused a large commotion at a senior-living community in Volusia County Thursday.

The animal attacked someone outside Sterling Court on Alabaster Way in Deltona about 2:30 p.m., according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

The person attacked couldn't break free of the squirrel and went inside with the animal. That's when it went wild and started attacking others inside an activity room.

"It's jumping on people and biting them and scratching them, so we need help," a worker told a 911 dispatcher.

Another person is heard in the background saying, "I feel lightheaded! I don't feel good!"


The woman told a dispatcher the squirrel had attacked at least three or four people and they were bleeding. She said someone was able to throw the animal outside.

A worker who answered the phone at the facility Thursday night told the Orlando Sentinel that those who were injured were doing fine but would not comment further.

It's unclear what happened to the squirrel.
