CARY, NC (WTVD) -- Town of Cary officials say a fox that attacked a jogger and two dogs Wednesday morning on a greenway near Lantern Ridge Lane off Green Level Church Road has tested positive for rabies.

It happened around 7 a.m.

Cary police euthanized the fox and the remains were sent to the state lab for testing.
