A 4-year-old boy was attacked by a coyote while standing in his grandmother's driveway - and it was all caught on video.
Terrifying surveillance video shows the moment a coyote attacked a four-year-old little boy
in Carson, California. Thankfully he is okay. Today the mother's calling on local authorities
to do something to address this danger. All of a sudden I just hear him screaming and I turn
around and I scream as well because I see the coyote on top of him. Was that a little bit scary
with the coyote? Tell us about it. It bit me. Solomon's mother was able to grab him and get
him into the house. As you saw there the coyote took off. The little one was treated for superficial
wounds to his leg and his torso. Now a DNA test revealed that coyote is also responsible for an
attack in February and potentially two others in recent weeks. They've been around for years
and when we call for help they're saying they can't do anything. I don't understand why it
takes something like this to happen. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is attempting to
locate this particular animal.
