A Massachusetts police officer was attacked by a pet squirrel while attempting to arrest its owner on drug charges.

Officer Dwayne Flowers said he and his partner were attempting to arrest a woman wanted on drug charges in Leominister, Mass., when her loose pet squirrel attacked.

“The claws are very sharp, I guess he mistook me for a tree,” officer Flowers said. “The squirrel was moving at such speed, I didn’t see it and neither did my partner standing shoulder-length away from me.”

Flowers drove to a hospital after the attack while other officers captured Spanky the squirrel and arrested its owner.
