But the animal was another fox, and it charged at him, biting his face and hands, knocked him to the driveway and sent his glasses tumbling. Bath Deputy Police Chief Andrew Booth said Tuesday the animal tested positive for the rabies virus. He also presumed rabies in the September attack on Kenney, though that animal wasn't tested, Booth said. Gray and red foxes accounted for eight cases alone in Bath, which has more than 8000 residents. In West Bath, a fox attacked two men and ran off with a shoe, the Portland Press Herald reported.
