A New Hampshire man closing his iPad got a big surprise: A bat was wedged between the back of the device and its cover and bit his finger.
Roy Syvertson of South Hampton tells WMUR-TV it felt like a bee sting at first. When he realized he was dealing with a bat, he pressed down on the cover to keep it from flying away.
The 86-year-old Syvertson managed to get the bat outside, but later found him dead. It turned out that the bat was rabid. Syvertson went straight to the hospital for rabies treatments.
When asked how the bat got into his house and iPad case last week, Syvertson had a ready-made response.
“My joke of, ‘He probably knew my password’ won’t last forever,” he said.
