The furry creatures have attacked 10 cats, a dog and at least one pet owner in Olympia, Washington, leaving residents terrified to walk the streets without protection.
Tamara Keeton - who started racoon watch - said: "It’s a new breed. They’re urban racoons and they are not afraid." The attacked woman is so afraid she now carries an iron pipe and other locals are arming themselves with pepper spray.
One resident said: "We used to love the raccoons. They’d have their babies this time of year and they were so cute. Even though we lived in the city, it was neat to have wildlife around.
"But this year, things have changed. They went nuts."

An Iraqi man has appeared in court after allegedly telling airport staff his penis pump was a bomb.
Mardin Azad Amin, 29, was due to travel to Turkey when he was questioned by security at Chicago’s O’Hare airport after staff discovered a suspicious looking object in his luggage.
Amin’s attorney said her client told the female guard the black object was a "pump" but she misheard and thought he said "bomb".
Prosecutors insist that Amin twice told security that he was carrying a "bomb" and later said he was embarrassed to admit it was a penis pump in front of his mother.
Amin told the court there was nothing wrong with the enlargement implement, saying: "It is normal. Half of America use it." Amin was charged with disorderly conduct and faces up to three years in prison if found guilty.

Australian scientists are developing a contraceptive pill for kangaroos.
Experts in Canberra plan to create a food pellet laced with hormones to help control the growing population of the furry animal in the country’s capital.
Government ecologist Don Fletcher said: "Realistically to deal with wild animals it has to be oral." Kangaroos outnumber people in Australia and their population is particularly high in the forests surrounding Canberra. In 2004 the animal caused 600 car accidents in the region.
Canberra government plan to add the specially modified food pellets to grass where kangaroos graze.
Animal activist groups, who were against past practises of shooting the animals, have welcomed the project.
