The angry red kangaroo knocked Phyllis Johnson to the ground and then kicked her several times in her garden in the Queensland town of Charleville.
"I thought it was going to kill me," she said in an interview with local newspaper the Courier-Mail.
"It was taller than me and it just ploughed through the clothes on the washing line straight for me."
Mrs Johnson tried to push the bouncing beast away from her with a broom but said nothing was going to put him off.Her son, too, tried to fight off the kangaroo but without success
It was then he called the police who soon found themselves on the receiving end of the roo's ire as it then lunged at them.
At that point, they decided to take out the pepper spray to subdue the animal.
"One officer had to deploy his spray on the animal and it ran away and saw the other police officer out of the corner of its eye," Sergeant Stephen Perkins explained.
"The other officer also had to deploy his spray to keep from getting hurt. It's one of the many unusual calls we get out here."
Mrs Johnson revealed the roo had taken a chunk of flesh out of her leg and she would probably have to have an operation.
