Residents, employees and visitors in the area are being told to stay away from any wild animal acting aggressively or unusually.

 Do not approach, attempt to capture, feed, or otherwise interact with the animal,  police said

Anyone who spots the animal should move to a safe location and call Lebanon police or Fish and Game.

Police also warned about possible rabies exposure, urging anyone bitten or scratched by a wild animal to wash the area thoroughly with soap and water and seek immediate medical attention.

Lebanon isn't the only place being plagued by a potential rabies scare.

The Mount Loretto Unique Area, a 241-acre nature preserve on the south shore of Staten Island, issued a safety advisory as a fox that may be infected with rabies had bitten a visitor, according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
