4-year-old boy attacked by coyote while standing in grandparents' California driveway: VIDEO
-- A 4-year-old boy was attacked by a coyote while standing in his grandmother's Southern California driveway - and it was all caught on video. A similar attack happened in Carson last year, when a 6-year-old boy was bitten by a coyote and hospitalized with injuries to his head and legs. All of a sudden, I just hear him screaming and I turned around and I screamed as well because I see the coyote on the top of him," said Sarina Donohoo, the boy's mother.
