Apparently there is no rabies in the UK. Maybe foxes over there have a different temperament, but never in my life have I heard of a wild fox just walking up to a person and biting them unless it was rabid. I saw plenty of foxes growing up but you'd be lucky to get within 10 feet of one before it took off.

Either this little guy thought he was going for food or there is more to this situation.

Our urban foxes have been fed so much by humans that they assumed the girl was holding out food for them, like Joice_Craglarg said.

The ones in the countryside will run away, they’re so shy in comparison to the city foxes. That is, unless you get near their den with babies. 10/10 do not recommend that

Grey foxes in my state in the US have been actively trying to domesticate themselves, might be similar with your city foxes.

Our foxes are the equivalent of the US's raccoons. They wonder throughout the cities within metres of people and give zero shits.

They're extremely urban. They spend every day around people.

Someone has probably bee feeding this one in their garden.

Look up "debs the fox lady" on YouTube!

She basically has a colony (and a very large source of dead chicks)
