A coyote that Texas officials think bit three children at a park is set to be "humanely euthanized," leaders in Arlington said Thursday.
Arlington Animal Services captured the coyote Thursday morning after the bites at Parkway Central Park in north Arlington, a city between Dallas and Fort Worth.
The animal will be tested for rabies at the Texas Health and Human Services in Austin, the city said on X.
An animal control officer and a police officer were at the park because of “aggressive coyote activity at the park” when they captured the animal, according to the city.
The officers said they saw the coyote on a road near the park before it charged at them, the city said in a statement.
