Three people were bitten by a coyote in Vaughan during a recent three-day span.

All three incidents occurred near Pheasant Hollow Park, near Rutherford Road, between Dufferin and Keele streets.

One of the incidents occurred Oct. 15; the other two occurred Oct. 17, according to York Region Public Health.

It is unknown if the same coyote is responsible for all three incidents.

The bite victims are recovering at home and receiving post-exposure rabies vaccine.

There have also been coyote sightings reported in Agostino Park.

City of Vaughan Animal Control has been notified and is investigating.

Residents are reminded to avoid approaching, feeding or coming into contact with wildlife. Some animals, including bats, coyotes, foxes, skunks and raccoons, may be infected with the rabies virus.
