Episode Details

A runner in South Kingstown was viciously attacked by a rabid raccoon in Potter Wood, suffering multiple bites and a dislocated thumb that required surgery—thanks to a heroic neighbor who rushed to his aid. Authorities are now warning residents to avoid the area and report any suspicious animal behavior, as Rhode Island sees a spike in rabies cases this year. The victim, recovering after weeks of healing, urges caution for anyone returning to the trail—and reminds everyone: if bitten, wash the wound immediately and seek medical help.
