Newport Beach jogger reports being chased by coyote

A Newport Beach man's morning jog turned into an adventure when a coyote began to pursue him and his dogs.

Brian Clarkson, 37, said he was jogging at about 8 a.m. Tuesday with his two Yorkie mixes on a trail near University Drive and Irvine Avenue when a coyote that "seemed hungry and desperate" began running toward them.

"I've never been chased by a coyote looking for a kill before," Clarkson told the Daily Pilot.

A man riding a horse yelled at the coyote, which was only momentarily deterred, according to Clarkson.

The rider then escorted Clarkson out of harm's way.
