An Australian man has reportedly killed a wombat with an axe after the animal attacked him and pulled him to the ground in a 20-minute ordeal.
The 60-year-old victim had stepped on the creature which then became "rather nasty" and bit the man's lower legs and arms.
He was brought down by the wombat and also suffered injuries to his chest after finding it outside his caravan door.
The man tried to get away from the creature but it "kept coming at him", said a paramedic.
Eventually he managed to grab an axe and kill the animal, it is claimed.

You sir, have offended my honor by placing me beneath your boot! You have left me no other choice than to settle this injury through fist-to-cuffs. Prepare to defend yourself!

No sir.
I've read up on wombats, and I'm prepared.

Any of you old VAX system users out there ever type the word “wombat” as a line command?
