A shocked mum walked into a room to find a feral rat attacking her toddler, a scene she likened to something from 'a horror movie'. The young boy was rushed straight to hospital after being bitten on the face by the rodent while he was in bed.
The mum, who did not want to be identified or identify her children, told the Liverpool Echo she believes there is a major rat problem in parts of the city. She was feeding her newborn baby when she stumbled across the horrifying scene.
She said: "It was like something from a nightmare or a horror movie, I am still traumatised by it all. I heard my two-year-old son crying from his bed and when I walked in he was covered in blood. I fell to my knees in shock, I had no idea what had happened until I saw the rat run past me. My four-year-old saw it all with me and has been having nightmares ever since."
