Dig deeper:
In the video, an 8-year-old boy who was out fishing with his family is seen being attacked by the beaver.
When the child tried to run back up the bank and out of the water, the beaver pursued the boy and ended up biting the child on his thigh.
When the boy finally managed to get up, he threw the beaver back into the lake.
Local perspective:
Several people had been bitten by the beaver and ended up testing positive for rabies, according to the Mahwah Township Health Department.

This was videoed. Rather unusual, but now video cameras are common on most cell phones.
I wrote a letter to Penthouse about my encounter with one.
Were the whereabouts of AOC accounted for during the time of this attack?
They are vicious and their teeth are sharp as razors, being constantly renewed
Several years ago, there was a flood on the river and a beaver managed to get trapped in the weather station cyclone fence enclosure at one of the dams. An employee opened the gate, thinking he would rescue the beaver and let him escape from the cyclone fence area. Instead, the Beaver attacked him and seriously lacerated both of his legs before the man was able to escape. We laughed at the accident report, having to say that he was attacked by a beaver, but it was very serious requiring multiple stitches and a round of rabies vaccination as a precaution.
Ain’t no dam beaver in NJ. The closest one is grey and lives in Massachusetts.
When i think of beaver that is the last image that comes to mind.
Rabid Beaver in NJ?

You’re bad.
Funny but very bad.
Hopefully he was with his teacher.😉
Did the nurse bend the needle when you got your shots? ;)
In a better time, the father would’ve been carrying a handgun and shot the thing before it attacked his family.
New Jersey has concealed carry now. He should’ve been carrying to Protect his family.
Dam beaver!
I’ve never developed a fear of being attacked by rabid beavers.
“Beaver, aren’t you being a little hard on the ward?”
And the idiot taking the video thought a child being attacked by a wild animal was funny
A rabid Beaver! Oh Ward, what are we going to do?!’’
A. Isn’t that family deciding to camp right on top of a Beaver Nest?
B. Why do they let their fluffy little Dog walk right into that swamp where the Crazy Beaver was just thrown like a Midget Wrestler?
