Police rescue man from home filled with more than 200 rats
Police in Minneapollis recently attended a call with a difference: a man rang in panic to say he was being eaten alive in his home by rats.
According to Dayton Daily News, more than 200 black rats — a colony originating from one pet-store type of rat the mman had taken in had overrun the small house.
“In this occupation, you see a lot of things. Nothing really surprises us,” said Police Chief Mark Skelton. “You can never say that you’ve seen it all, because you haven’t.”
The 47-year-old man, who had been nibbled on a few times but seemed otherwise fine, was taken to a “safe house,” Skelton said.
