From Plymouth Township police...
Plymouth Township – On Tuesday, October 2, 2007, Plymouth Township Police Officers responded to the area of Ann Arbor Trail and Beacon Hill Dr regarding a person that was bitten by a fox.
This person was jogging along the roadside when the attack occurred. Later that same day, a resident was in his yard and was also attacked and bit by a fox. Shortly after the second incident a third victim was attacked, not injured, and was able to kill the fox with a garden tool. The investigation revealed that there was one fox involved in all three incidents.
Plymouth Township Police Department responded, and took possession of the deceased animal, where it was transported to the Michigan Humane Society for testing. The Humane Society reports the tests were positive for rabies.
