Woman recovering after fighting back with axe against wolf attack
THIS 56-year-old Russian woman has told how she survived an attack by a wolf outside her sister’s home in the province of Dagestan.
The animal bit Aishat Maksudova on her arm and her leg and she fell to the ground, crying out for help from other villagers.
No one was in earshot, so she reached for an axe she had brought along to repair a fence and hit the wolf over the head several times until its teeth unclenched.
The wolf later died.
