*PICTURED BELOW*
A gigantic, white rat was killed after being speared with a pitchfork at the Marcy Houses in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.
Jose Rivera, a Housing Authority worker, was clearing a rat hole when three of the mutants popped out, The New York Daily News reports, but he was only able to nab one. It appears to be almost three feet long, including the tail.
Naomi Colon, head of the Marcy Houses Tenant Association, told the News there have been sightings of the humongous rats for at least six years.
Residents described some horrifying confrontations with the rodents to BlackandBrownNews.com
An expert at the Wildlife Conservation Society told the News the slain monster was likely a Gambian pouched rat, and was probably an escaped or discarded pet.
Importing Gambian pouched rats to the United States was banned almost a decade ago after they caused an outbreak of monkey-pox that sickened 100 people.
/>Even the normal, Norway rats are huge at the Marcy Houses-- where Jay-Z was famously "raised in the projects, roaches and rats".Pam Davis, 43, told the News, "They're here day and night. We don't dodge bullets. We dodge rats.They're so big, they should charge them rent."
Earlier this summer, pest control experts warned staff cuts to the Pest Control Bureau would cause a "rat epidemic" in the city.
