A rogue kangaroo tried to drown a dog and then viciously attacked its owner when he launched a rescue bid, Australian paramedics said.
The kangaroo held the dog under water at a dam near Melbourne and left deep lacerations across the 49-year-old owner’s face and body when he risked his neck to save his pet.
“The 49-year-old dived into the dam and managed to free his dog but he was injured in the process,” paramedic Michael Vosbergen said.
“He suffered a deep cut across his abdomen, a deep cut across his face and eye and a number of scratches to his chest, face and arms.”
The man was treated at a nearby hospital after the incident last week.
Kangaroo attacks are relatively rare. In March, a stray kangaroo burst through the window of a suburban Canberra home and rampaged through the house. It was eventually subdued by the homeowner who pinned it to the floor in a headlock and forced it out of the house.
The only known human fatality is a New South Wales hunter who was killed in 1936 when he tried to rescue his dogs from a kangaroo.

澳洲醫護人員表示,一隻行為失常的袋鼠試圖淹死一隻狗,然後這隻袋鼠又趁狗主人營救小狗時,惡意攻擊這位飼主。
這隻袋鼠在鄰近墨爾本的一座水壩把這隻狗壓到水面下,四十九歲的飼主冒著生命危險去搶救愛犬時,臉和身上都被袋鼠嚴重抓傷。
醫護人員麥可.福斯柏根說:「四十九歲的飼主跳進水壩中搶救他的狗,但過程中卻受了傷。」
「他的腹部有一道很深的傷口,臉頰和眼睛間也有一道深深的傷痕,胸部、臉部和手臂上都傷痕累累。」
上週這起意外發生後,男子被送到鄰近一家醫院治療。
袋鼠攻擊事件相當罕見。今年三月間,一隻野生袋鼠破窗闖入坎培拉郊區一間民宅,並在房子裡橫衝直撞。最後屋主用臂膀夾住牠的頭,將牠制伏在地,趕出屋外。
唯一一起袋鼠傷人致死事故發生在一九三六年,當時新南威爾斯一名獵人企圖從袋鼠手中救出他的狗,結果卻不幸喪生。
