Squirrel Gets Revenge on Chicago Politician Who Spoke Out Against Squirrels

Howard Brookins Jr., the city council member for Chicago’s 21st ward, was hospitalized by a squirrel after the politician publicly spoke out against the pesky rodents for being too “aggressive.”

Brookins was sent to the hospital with a skull fracture in a bicycle accident on Nov. 13, according to the Chicago alderman’s Facebook page.

The politician was riding his bicycle along Cal-Sag Trail when the squirrel ran in front of his bike. The rodent became wrapped in Brookin’s bicycle spokes, causing the councilman to flip over his handlebars, the Washington Post reported Tuesday. Brookins landed roughly and broke his nose, knocked out several teeth, and fractured his skull.
