Kangaroo attack lands man in hospital

A MAN, 64, has been admitted to hospital suffering from multiple cuts after
wrestling a kangaroo that attacked him from behind.
Paramedics said the man passed a group of kangaroos while he was walking
yesterday morning in Sussex Inlet.
''It was almost as tall as he was, and he wrestled it until he could break
free,'' advanced life support paramedic Dennis Prendergast said of the
attacking animal. The man had cuts to his eyelid, lip, stomach and leg.
He was admitted to Sunshine Hospital in a satisfactory condition. No report
was available on the state of the kangaroo.
The incident is the third in which a kangaroo has attacked a person in
Sussex Inlet in the past year.
A male jogger suffered extensive injuries when he was attacked by a
kangaroo in Sunbury Inlet in September last year.
A Sunbury woman was mauled by a kangaroo in April this year, suffering deep
cuts.
