In Worcester, a fox crossed the boundary between wild and domestic life twice in a single day, biting a woman and a six-year-old girl in separate incidents within the same neighborhood. Such attacks are rare enough to signal something wrong with the animal itself — disease, injury, or a lost instinct for human avoidance — and rare enough to remind a community that the natural world does not always keep its distance. Police responded formally to both encounters, and the neighborhood now holds a question it did not wake up with: whether the creature is still among them.
