A man has issued a warning for others to be aware of what can happen after his disabled wife was attacked by a rat as she lay unable to move in her bed. Diana Kirk, 76, was found badly injured at 5.45am on the morning of May 9 at her home.
Diana has brain damage and sleeps alone downstairs, cared for by her 85-year-old husband John, Nottinghamshire Live reports. Mr Kirk said he was asleep upstairs when he heard a rat "scratching around" by his feet.
At about 1.30am, he noticed it again, but then he fell asleep and woke as normal before 6am. He went downstairs to check on his wife in their living room and saw what had happened to Diana before calling the ambulance straight away.
