CANBERRA, Australia (AP) -- Two Australian police officers used pepper spray to fight off a rogue kangaroo that attacked an elderly woman in her backyard in an Outback town, an official said Tuesday.

The 94-year-old victim, Phyllis Johnson, was taken to a hospital for treatment of cuts and bruises after Sunday afternoon's attack. She told The Courier Mail newspaper that she tried unsuccessfully to fight the kangaroo off with a broom after it attacked her while she was hanging her laundry.

"I thought it was going to kill me," Johnson told the newspaper from her bed in a hospital in the Queensland state town of Charleville. "It was taller than me and it just plowed through the clothes on the washing line straight for me."

She said the kangaroo knocked her to the ground before she crawled to her house, where her son called police.
