10:50 PM- An officer was dispatched to Babcock St. for a possible bat exposure.  The victim stated that he was in bed with his wife when a bat flew into their room from the hallway.  He attempted to capture the bat but was unsuccessful.  The bat eventually flew out of an open window, grazing the victim’s leg in the process.  Neither the victim nor his wife knew where the bat came from or how long it was in their home.  During the incident the victim’s cat and two children were present.  He was advised to follow up with the Brookline Health Department to determine if care is needed.  A report was taken and Animal Control was notified as well as the Health Department.
