A little Carson boy had a horrible encounter with Mother Nature this week when he was attacked by a coyote during a softball game, giving him bites and scratches that required stitches.
Enoch Palomar, 6, watched his sister watch his sister play in softball during a softball game when the coyote attacked him on Monday.
“It just kept biting me and I was trying to kick it,” Eno told news station KTLA-TV. “It’s so fast, it jumps. I’m doing my best and then it doesn’t work and then I yell.”
The attack unfolds in the background of a video taken by parents of softball games. The video of the incident shows Enoch screaming in panic near the playground, struggling to get up as the coyote scratches and bites him.
She told News that his mother, Melissa Palomar, ran to her son and was afraid of coyotes.
“I was like, ‘Get up, get up!'” “I’m just hysterical.”
After the attack, the coyote ran away and Enoch was shocked.
According to KTLA, the doctor repaired his legs with 20 needles. The coyote also bit his head, neck and other parts of the boy’s body.
Palomar’s mother reported the attack to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the boy’s clothes were collected as part of the investigation.
According to fish and wildlife, while coyotes are common fixtures in many Southern California communities, canines are often small and avoid interactions with humans. But they are opportunists, and when it comes to food, they will have the conditions to rely on the garbage left by humans, especially in areas where their habitat or nests border.
