Reinickendorf Warns of Aggressive Fox After Repeated Attacks

Officials have launched a joint response to track the animal.

Overview

  • A single fox has repeatedly attacked dogs and, in some cases, owners in the Brusebergstraße and Klamannstraße area since late January, with the last report on April 12.
  • District officials say one dog died after an attack and they have not identified disease as the cause.
  • The Ordnungsamt issued a public warning urging residents to keep dogs leashed, stay away from wildlife, avoid feeding foxes, and report sightings or incidents.
  • Authorities held a coordination call with veterinary oversight, police, the Berlin environment office, and wildlife groups, and they plan a local information event.
  • A city wildlife expert says the animal is likely a two‑year‑old vixen and notes that relocation rarely works and removal is limited by hunting law.
