It's a bobcat. It's not the animal in the carrier. It's a wild animal that came out from underneath the cars and attacked. Clearly biting and clawing him. I am a cat lover. when an animal is that out of control you have to protect yourself. Would you let a coyote eat your wife?

Note to self: when encountering a bobcat, be sure to pick it up like a kitten then panic and scream “it’s a bobcat!!!!!” while still holding on to said bobcat and then after all that you take the time to throw the poor thing over your head when you could’ve just dropped it...DUDE
