RYE BROOK, New York (AP) — A teen and a toddler have come face-to-face with a coyote in two separate incidents within about an hour in a New York City suburb. The toddler's father took her to get medical care, but the teen was unhurt.
Authorities tell The Journal News that a coyote lunged at the teen boy Sunday evening in Rye Brook. About an hour later, the 2-year-old girl was attacked near her home about two miles away.
In June, the town of Rye — about 3 miles (5 kilometers) from Rye Brook — had two coyote attacks within four days.
A 3-year-old girl playing in her backyard was jumped from behind by a coyote, and a 6-year-old girl was mauled by two coyotes.
Rye Brook is about 30 miles (50 kilometers) northeast of Manhattan.
