Reports that two people were attacked by a gray fox on Monday in Monmouth prompted Maine game wardens and police to launch an intense search for the animal. The fox, which authorities suspect has rabies, did not break the skin of either person, but the animal’s unusual behavior prompted a warning from officials to be on guard. “I’m sure this won’t be the last call reference this animal,” said Game Warden Steve Allarie. The first attack was reported around 8:34 a.m.
