A Flying Fox Went Batshit Crashed A Wedding Party In NSW Where It Attacked 6 Guests

Six people had to urgently get multiple vaccines after a bat (?!) relentlessly chased and attacked them at a pre-wedding party in NSW’s Central Coast. Clearly someone objected to this holy matrimony and did not want to forever hold their peace. The bat, a flying fox, appears to have made a beeline for the Lee family while they were grabbing drinks before the wedding at Hardy’s Bistro.

Footage shared by Nine News shows bruises and scratches on the arms of a guest, as well as a video of the creature climbing onto someone’s handbag. A guest eventually got the bat to cling to a branch, which he then moved across the street and away from the party, ending the fracas. Jokes aside, this is really odd behaviour from a flying fox which are typically quite sweet creatures that don’t attack people like this. Wildlife ecologist told 9 News the bat’s antics were “unusual”. “If they find themselves on the ground, they go for the nearest tall thing to try and climb to get some height to take off,” he told Nine News. “But the fact that this one kept coming back is incredibly unusual.” Flying foxes can carry heaps of viruses and diseases that are dangerous, even fatal, to humans so all six of the wedding guests involved had to be given multiple vaccines that were urgently transported to Gosford hospital from Sydney. Man, maybe everything in Australia really out to get us.
