Wild fox tests positive for rabies following capture on Capitol Hill

The “aggressive” red fox was caught by authorities on Tuesday around 3:36 p.m., a day after she chomped down on Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.), Capitol Hill police said in a tweet. The lawmaker was walking near one of the Senate office buildings when the creature lunged at him, prompting a tussle that ended only after Bera fended off the fox with an umbrella.
