In a bizarre story worthy only of Australia, a jogger claims she was followed and repeatedly assaulted by a kangaroo because she was wearing Sarah Jessica Parker's "Stash," a perfume.

Tracy Noonan described the encounter as something you would see in a "horror movie."
"It just kept coming and coming. I thought: 'Oh my goodness, this kangaroo is going to kill me.'"

Noonan was kicked over and scratched by the kangaroo before she had the chance to run away.
"I just felt a massive thump in the middle of my back," she said.
"I turned around and it was actually just standing over the top of me."

There is really no explanation for this other than that Sarah Jessica Parker smells like a female kangaroo https://t.co/f2u8KIuu6X— waegukin in a waeguk land (@waegukin in a waeguk land) 1606992187.0

After seeking shelter in a nearby house, the kangaroo reportedly camped outside for a further 20 minutes before moving on.
"The kangaroo was waiting for me."

Noonan was thankfully okay aside from a kangaroo-foot shaped bruise on her back, and made it home without being pursued by any further trouble.
"Stash" has not been recorded to attract any other marsupials to date--hopefully no more kangaroo attacks will occur in Sarah Jessica Parker's name.
