A coyote bit a 6-year-old boy at a golf course in South San Jose last weekend, a wildlife official said Friday.
The attack happened at about 10:40 a.m. Sunday at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club, California Department of Fish and Wildlife Capt. Patrick Foy said.
The boy was taken to the hospital to be treated, Foy said. His condition wasn't immediately known.
Wildlife officials were able to get a sample of the coyote's DNA from the boy's clothing and his father's golf glove, Foy said.
