A disabled French girl covered in rat bites is critically ill in hospital after a pack swarmed into her bedroom in northern France.
The 14-year-old paraplegic was sleeping on the ground floor when the attack happened in Roubaix.
A medical expert quoted by France Info said the girl had 45 facial lesions, 150 on her hands and 30 on her feet.
The girl's father is suing the landlord for alleged negligence. Reports say rubbish bins nearby were overflowing.
The father, who has two other children, said he found his paraplegic daughter Samantha "drenched in blood" in her bed last Saturday.
He said everything had been fine when the family had gone to bed. He was sleeping upstairs.
