policeman has been handed a special honour after he survived a ferocious attack — by a squirrel.David Wheatley, a sheriff's deputy from Harrison County in Indiana, USA, has been given some tongue-in-cheek recognition by the force for his courage after footage showed him being set upon by the furry animal.He had been responding to a call from an elderly lady, who had opened the door of her caravan to let her cat in when a squirrel ran inside and began crawling all over her.The tiny beast ran up and around her leg before making its way up her body, leaving her with a scratch on her head.After a quick struggle the deputies caught the squirrel and began removing it from the home, triggering another ambush.The video shows a uniformed Wheatley flailing around wildly and letting out a yell as he attempts to kick off the squirrel while it runs around his body. His fellow officers jump back in shock at his sudden reaction, with one behind the camera heard laughing at the very end of the clip.Back at the station his colleagues also saw the funny side of his close encounter of the woodland kind, as they awarded him a bronzed squirrel and a martial arts award for his bravery.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.He can be seen proudly holding the awards in his hands in a photograph released by the police.
