MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- "An ambulance official says a jogger has been taken to hospital after he was attacked by a kangaroo on the outskirts of Australia's second-largest city. A jogger who hopped between a male and female kangaroo in Melbourne suffered a head injury and scratches. Metropolitan Ambulance Service spokeswoman Christine Paterson says the man, in his 50s, was attacked Monday as he apparently ran between a male and female kangaroo near his home at an outer suburb of Melbourne. She says the victim ran to a nearby house and telephoned for help while the kangaroo  hopped away. Paterson says he was taken by ambulance to a hospital in a stable condition with a gash on his head and minor claw scratches to his chest, arms and hands. A Royal Melbourne Hospital spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment on the man's condition."
