A man claimed an urban fox was "friendly" before it sunk its teeth into his leg - drawing blood.

Daniel Owen, 27, was waiting for the bus alongside the stranger, in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, on Wednesday 24 April at 5.45am - when a fox ran up to them.

The stranger claimed the animal was "friendly" before it savaged him - puncturing his skin and drawing blood.

The fox - known locally as 'Roxy' - had initially come up to them while they waited at the bus stop and started sniffing before it went for the man.

The victim - who had his shopping in his hand - believed the fox was just being curious before it lashed out.

Daniel - who witnessed the incident - says the victim didn't seem too concerned and walked off, while the fox scarpered.

Daniel, a delivery driver, from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, said: "I found it hilarious, I'm not one to get offended or shy away from blood.

"But I had the realisation that he might get something - so I felt a bit concerned.

"He just walked off, so I think he wasn't too bothered.

"When it happened we scared the fox off so it wouldn't try to attack anyone else."
