A kangaroo attack on a woman who went for a morning jog was attributed to the Sarah Jessica Parker perfume she was wearing.
Tracy Noonan said she usually sees roos all the time while running in Beaconsfield, outside Melbourne, but on Saturday, a lone roo spotted her and kept coming.
“He had to jump a couple of fences to get to me and next to the last fence I was like, ‘OMG this kangaroo is not going to stop,” he told Ross and Russel on Australia’s 3AW breakfast show. .
He said that in a moment of turning his back and covering his head, there was a “massive blow” to his back.
She fell to the ground and turned to see the kangaroo standing over her.
“I lowered my head because I thought ‘Oh my gosh, this is going to kill me right now.’
“It all happened so fast”.
Ms. Noonan said she stayed on the floor for a minute and then slowly got up and started to walk away, but the room followed her.
She threw a handful of rocks her way to stun him, giving her enough time to escape to the nearest house, but the determined roo was behind her, following her up the driveway to the front garden.
The residents came out and shooed him away, while Ms. Noonan sat down with them to calm down.
But when he started to leave, there was the room, waiting again.
“It was something out of a horror movie. It just kept coming and going. I thought, ‘Oh my God, this kangaroo is going to kill me.’
Ms. Noonan said she spoke to a local ranger to explain what happened.
“You seem to think it could possibly have been my perfume,” she said.
“It was Sarah Jessica Parker perfume.
“It’s so funny because who puts on perfume to go for a run?
“I went out early in the morning and was looking for deodorant and that’s all I could find.
“I was not trying to attract kangaroos, I can assure you.”
