A four-year-old girl was bit and dragged by a coyote in the city’s northwest Saturday morning, Calgary police say.
Officers tell CityNews say the incident happened in the back alley of the 100 block of Macewan Ridge Circle NW at around 11:15 a.m.
The coyote snatched the girl in its mouth and dragged her for a distance before her father intervened, police say, eventually cornering the animal.
After arriving and then waiting for Fish and Wildlife to deal with the animal, CPS says the coyote was acting aggressively, prompting officers to shoot and kill it.
The girl was taken to the Alberta Children’s Hospital with puncture wounds on her arm.
