LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) \u2014 The Nebraska Wildlife Rehab (NWR) revealed a recent scary encounter for a big brown bat.<\/p>\n

The bat was in a house\u2019s living room, causing fear from the resident. The bat was struck with a broom mid-flight.<\/p>\n

The broom injured her wing, causing multiple tears and an open humeral fracture, according to NWR.<\/p>\n

She underwent a surgical procedure to place a 0.028-inch pin into her wing to restore alignment.<\/p>\n

NWR said the bat has received physical and therapeutic laser treatments as she recovers.<\/p>\n

If a bat is found, they should not be swat at or attempted to be captured, according to NWR.<\/p>\n
