\n Foxes might be sly, but one in New Jersey has the attention span of a fruit fly.<\/p>\n

A young man simply threw his basketball at a fox that was attacking an 8-year-old girl \u2014 and the shocked critter bolted.<\/p>\n

The girl, Dylan Dratch, was playing in a brook in a friend\u2019s backyard in Livingston, about 20 miles outside Manhattan, when the fox walked up and started biting her feet.<\/p>\n

Her screams caught the attention of 20-year-old Matthew Nichter, who was outside playing a pick-up game<\/a> with another neighbor\u2019s three little boys. He made a fast break for the girl.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ran back there, still holding the basketball I was playing with,\u201d Nichter told NBC News<\/a> of the Wednesday evening fox encounter. \u201cI threw the basketball as a form of distraction and chased it away.<\/p>\n

\u201cI then went back across the brook and picked up Dylan. She was scared, crying and her feet were really bloody.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dylan had 19 bites on her hands and legs, said her mom, Stacey Dratch. Doctors at a hospital treated Dylan and gave her a rabies shot, the first in a series<\/a>, and an epinephrine shot because she\u2019s allergic to dogs, which are the distant cousins of foxes.<\/p>\n

Dratch believes Nichter is a hero, though he begs to differ.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really sweet and I app<\/a>reciate that they feel that way,\u201d he told NBC. \u201cI\u2019m just glad I was able to help and was in the right place at the right time.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
