The incident happened last week in Leominster, Mass.

Once police were inside the home, the squirrel, named "Spanky," attacked Officer Dwayne Flowers.

Flowers suffered some scratches and was treated and released at a local hospital.

Flowers said he has been attacked before, but never by a pet squirrel.

"He had a good chuckle," Flowers said of his partner.

The woman said Spanky didn't mean any harm, he just plays rough.

Spanky was in the custody of animal control officers, who said they weren't sure what they would do with the animal.

Police said they were serving the 42-year-old woman with a warrant to get her help for an alleged drug dependency.

This sounds like a story line for "When Animals Attack".

Lol poor Mr flowers !!

That's awesome, I want a squirrel like that! I live in Mass, I wanna visit that person and learn how to tame squirrels

I need a squirrel like that!

Someone tell the squirrels police have guns...

That reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate factory when Veruca *wants a squirrel and tried to catch one but then the squirrals all attack her lol

lmao. omg this is sooo funny.

About it to... knocking on her head to see if she is a good nut!

Hmm...an attack squirrel....I see a huge market for this.....

To bad there's no footage.

Our old neighbour went out in his yard one day and found the large bird feeder knocked over. When he lifted it to fix it up a possum jumped out from underneath it and onto the elderly man.
The poor guy ended up in hospital with scratches and a suspected heart attack.
