((Ktla– A boy of Southern California is still vibrating after being attacked and pulled by a wolf in a crowded garden in Carson.
On Monday, Enok Palomar, 6 years old, was with his family in Del Amo Park in the soft ball game of his sister that night.
During the game, a mobile phone video can be heard from one of the witnesses at the moment of ENOCH screaming behind the soft ball field. He said that the wolf was initially chased and he was tried to escape. He seems to have also tried to pull it away.
“He continued to bite me, and I was trying to kick him,” Enock recalls. “It was very fast, and I just jumped. I was trying my grandmother, then it didn’t work, then shouted.”
His mother, Melissa Palomar, heard his screaming and was seen as she set out to help the boy. Melissa recalls screaming to her son: “I was like,” woke up, woke up! “I was just hysterical.”
After the wolf’s fear, the animal was seen escaping through the soft ball field and after the end away from view.
ENOC left serious injuries and demanded about 20 stitches in his legs. He was also bitten on his head and back. “It seems like pain, just as I was bitten by a wolf,” he said.
Melissa reported the attack on the Ministry of Fish and Wildlife in California (CDFW), where the investigation is being conducted. Officials collected baby clothes for DNA samples to track wolves.
While Enoch recovers at home, Melissa said the accident had left her shaking and terrified. She said she was surprised that a wolf was in a crowded garden.
“I will never expect it,” she said. “You are in a garden with a full group of people. You don’t think a wolf will attack with a group of people around them.”
To stay safe, CDFW experts advise That when the wolf begins to approach, you must:
- Keep a safe distance and decrease slowly
- Keep young children and pets near you
- Make noise – scream, clap, blow a whistle
- Make yourself look bigger (like waving your arms)
- Let the lupus leave the surrounding area on its own
- If the wolves are contacting, fight and contact animal control or 911
Wildlife officials said that although the scenes of wolves are common in southern California, attacks on humans are rare.
