Police Sgt. Mike Danyo and Officer Paul Ryan say the groundhog went on the attack when they arrived.
Police say Danyo tripped and fell. His partner sprayed pepper spray into the groundhog's face, giving the officers time to snare it.
The animal was euthanized and its remains will be shipped to the state health department for rabies testing.
