The U.S Capitol Police said Tuesday it has arrested the fox that has menaced the Capitol this week—but not before it bit a congressman. “I didn’t see it and all of a sudden I felt something lunge at the back of my leg,” Rep. Ami Bera (D-CA) told Punchbowl News. “I jumped and got my umbrella.” Bera said he got a series of rabies shots as a precaution, though it’s generally not needed if the bite does not puncture the skin. Bera managed to have a sense of humor about the “unprovoked” attack. “I expect to get attacked if I go on Fox News, I don’t expect to get attacked by a fox.” Capitol Police had received multiple reports of “aggressive fox encounters” around the building.
