Elderly UK woman in care bitten by rat

An investigation has been ordered after a grandmother living in sheltered housing suffered injuries her family believes were rat bites.

Pamela Hudson, 75, was rushed to hospital, from her council home in York, with injuries to her face, body and arms. Her daughter, Jan Derry, said a rat “gnawed” at her bedridden mother, inflicting 50 bite wounds, at Glen Lodge, which is sheltered accommodation with extra care.
