Woman is attacked by a vicious rat that JUMPS up at her as she sweeps up

A Vietnamese woman has found herself at loggerheads with a rat whilst trying to do a spot of cleaning near her home.

Thuy Say, 20, had been sweeping debris from the pit of a building site close to her house in Hai Phong, Vietnam, when she came head-to-head with the rodent.

Video footage filmed by the woman's friends shows her running around in circles as the giant black rat, some 30cm in size, chases her within an enclosed concrete pit.
