The Demon Squirrel of Ninth Street

I saw the damndest thing on my way home from the gym last night. In front of Barbes/Colson Patisserie on 9th Street, there were a few hipster types standing on the sidewalk talking when a squirrel came flying down from somewhere close to the building fronts, did a hot lap out to the curb, then looped back in and took a flying leap at the back of the legs of one of the guys on the sidewalk before heading off up the street at full speed.
