LAUDERHILL, FLA. (WSVN) - The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission released DNA results of the animal that attacked an elderly couple during a morning jog in Lauderhill.
The FWC conducted a DNA test with hair samples collected from the scene of the attack, and revealed on Friday that the animal that attacked the couple was a raccoon, not a bobcat as the victims initially believed.
Eighty-five-year-old Eslyn Fray suffered puncture wounds to her face and arms and lost part of her finger. Her husband, 71-year-old Rupert Fray, suffered a leg injury.
Rupert was discharged from the hospital shortly after the attack and Eslyn was released on Thursday afternoon.
They are recovering from their injuries at home.
