A squirrel attacked a man while he was on a walk with his 90-year-old mom on September 10 in New Orleans.
A video shows the squirrel slowly approaching the man and his mom after it came out of a tree.
It then walks over and sniffs the man shoe.

The man said in a YouTube post that it appeared the squirrel wanted to climb up his leg.
But he and his mother walked on, leaving the squirrel behind.
However, moments later the furry rodent started to follow the duo, which is when the man grabbed his camera.
He then lets the squirrel walk up to his boot, as the video shows, but the rodent decides that isn’t enough and climbs up his leg to his upper body.
The man said he had to rip his shirt over his head to get the squirrel off.
It then climbed to his mom’s shoulder who can be heard screaming.

The man and his mom weren’t injured, but about an hour and a half later, four other people were attacked by the same squirrel, according to his post.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu shared on Twitter Wednesday night to talk about the squirrel attacks in the city.
‘We put our best team on the case,’ he tweeted. ‘And three of the squirrels in question have been apprehended.’
A TV station reported earlier this week that squirrels had been attacking people in Lake Vista.
They said the number of people targeted by squirrels in the neighborhood may even be as high as six, according to Nola.com.
It is unknown if this video was taken in the same neighborhood.
