“It took me a few seconds to realize what it was, so I closed the door and he jumped on the hood of my car. […] Several police officers stopped me asking me to stay in the car […] You can’t make these things up! ” Carrie Harbert in a Facebook post, according to the “NY Post”.
Another neighbor initially called about minor injuries from an “aggressive animal,” but the nature of the injuries was not specified.
