WEYMOUTH, Mass. (WPRI) — A Weymouth woman is recovering after being attacked by a coyote while she was outside with her 2-year-old son. Georgianna Orseno, was able to get away from the coyote by kicking it against a tree to get it off. Now she is left with bites and scratches on both of her legs. A camera across the street showed the moments right before the animal pounced while Orseno was on the ground playing with her son. "Luckily I was in between. I think it got mad because I was shaking it, then latched on," Orseno described the attack. "It could have been a lot worse. It could have latched onto my son and dragged him to where it wanted to go. So I'm just glad I was in between them." A neighbor noticed the coyote coming from the direction of Orseno's yard after the attack and said it was moving slowly and was not easily scared off. It's unusual for a coyote to attack someone in the middle of the day, so animal control officers say there is a good chance it's rabid. Orseno is now taking antibiotics and has started a series of rabies shots. Animal Control was searching for the coyote on Wednesday but it's unclear if they ever found it.
