A man has been seriously injured after being attacked by a hulking kangaroo in Queensland. The man, in his 50s, was involved in an altercation with a two-metre-tall kangaroo at a home on Little Gem Rd in Willows, Queensland’s Central Highlands just before 12pm on Wednesday. He sustained hip injuries and serious lacerations to his arms and chest during the altercation, Queensland Ambulance Service said.
Willows Rural Fire Brigade first officer in charge Rick Underhill told the ABC that the man was attacked moments after stepping outside his home. “He came out of his house, walked around to get into his ute to drive up to the shop and there was a buck and doe there and the doe took off and the buck bloody attacked him and really attacked him in a big way,” Underhill said.
