London woman terrorised as pack of rats emerge from her toilet and bite her bum
Rat bum bite
Plus: More weird news
A LONDON woman was horrified as a plague of rats emerged from her toilet as she sat on the loo.
One of the rodents sank its teeth into her bum and the terrified 55-year-old was forced to fend off the rest of the pack with a toilet plunger and a bottle of bleach.
Maxine Killingback, who lives alone in Deptford, initially felt a bite at the top of her leg and leapt up in horror, falling over in the process.
She grabbed a toilet plunger and managed to drown the lead rat before barricading the toilet bowl to stop the rest of the pack from spilling out into her bathroom.
The householder, from Creek Road, said: "You don't expect to sit down to spend a penny and be bitten by a rat.
"It just felt like someone had put a needle in me. When I jumped up it seemed to still have a hold on me."
She tried flushing the toilet chain twice but the rat was undeterred.
Ms Killingback added: "It was a big, black one, seven or eight inches long.
"It was trying to climb up but it kept sliding back down. I put a plunger down the toilet but it kept trying to get out.
"Then there were more coming up, I could see their noses poking through the gap.
"I just put two big boxes of washing powder and other things on top of the toilet to block it and shut the bathroom door.
"I've never known anything like it."
