Mass. Pair Attacked By Bobcat in Garage

A Massachusetts man and his nephew are recovering after being attacked by a bobcat in the man's suburban garage.

Roger Mundell Jr., 53, and his 15-year-old nephew, Michael Granger, will find out later today if they contracted rabies after both were mauled by a bobcat Sunday morning. Mundell and Granger told ABC News they have already started treatment for the disease as a precaution.

Mundell, Granger and a friend were working on a project Sunday morning when Mundell entered his garage in rural Brookfield, Mass., to fetch some some straps. Rounding a car, he heard a hissing sound and Mundell says that without warning, the bobcat pounced on his head, sinking its teeth into his face and clawing his back.

"It got me just like his and gave me a bear hug right here," Mundell said while pointing to his scared face.

Mundell was wearing a thick coat and managed to throw the bobcat off his body, sprinting out of the garage and slamming a door behind him.
