Joel McEwan, ambulance service operations supervisor, told the Guardian, “She’s fallen to the ground at that first kick, and then when she’s been on the ground, she’s been stomped [on] a number of times by the kangaroo. She was walking down the fairway, and the kangaroo came from the side, and just attacked without warning.”
“The patient was quite upset at the scene. Obviously, it’s a shock being attacked by quite a large kangaroo. They’re not common, especially on the golf courses where they get quite a lot of kangaroos,” McEwan added.
