A wild hare attacked a motor bike and a German fellow in Bargfeld recently.
The hare first seized the back wheel of the bike, biting into it and refusing to let go.
When the rider began yelling, Juergen Marwedel responded.
Bad move.
The rabbit turned from the bike to Marwedel's foot, biting through his shoe and into his flesh.
Marwedel finally had to beat the hare to death. It later proved not to be rabid.
It was a matter of hare today, carrion tomorrow.
The case, of course, reminds us of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." What a movie.
