A "psycho" squirrel went nuts on a wild Christmas rampage in UK's Buckley town, injuring a staggering 18 people in just two days, before he was put down by a vet, according to media reports.

The animal earned itself the nickname Stripe after the vicious character in the film 'Gremlins'. The grey squirrel started attacking people in Buckley, Flintshire, last week over a two-day period, the BBC reported. This was much to the distress of Corinne Reynolds, who had fed it since March and said it was a "frequent and friendly visitor" to her garden.
