Australian police said they used pepper spray to ward off a kangaroo after it attacked a 94-year-old woman in southwest Queensland. Police responded Sunday to the home of Phyllis Johnson after a report of the woman being knocked to the ground and repeatedly kicked by a red kangaroo. The responding officers had to use pepper spray on the animal to avoid being attacked. The kangaroo was captured and the Department of Environment said a decision on the fate of the animal will be made after it has been assessed by a veterinarian. Johnson’s son said his mother is recovering in a hospital. “She’s got scratches and cuts on her arms and there is a piece taken out of her leg that might have to have a skin graft on it,” he said. “But other than that she’s bouncing around fairly well now.”
