Ariel Eliyahuo told CNN that his daughter, Ariya, had to have multiple rabies shots after the attack, which happened at about 3.45pm on Friday after he'd brought his children home from daycare.
Video from a Ring security camera shows the coyote run up to grab Ariya and start dragging her in the seconds before her father could react.The coyote grabbed the child by the leg, her screams alerting her father who was unpacking the family car."I ran immediately to see what was going on and I saw the coyote attack her.You can hear other people screaming off-camera.
Once his daughter was in his arms, Eliyahuo tried to shoo the coyote away and then threw a water bottle at it as it ran.The father came to the aid of the daughter before chasing down the coyote. Eliyahuo said his wife saw blood on their daughter's pants, so they rushed her to the hospital, where she got multiple rabies shots.They live in Woodland Hills, which is a built-up neighbourhood, so he wouldn't have expected this to happen there, he said."Now I'm really, really, really afraid to let the kids go out, even in the backyard, by themselves."
Wildlife officials with dart rifles are working to try to catch the coyote, Captain Patrick Foy, a public information officer with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, told CNN.
