Aren't red squirrels the ones that can attack humans by deliberately tossing acorns, etc.?

I think YouTube has had some videos about these little monsters and their antics.

Here is news from Scientific American about red squirrels vs. grey squirrels (from the USA).

The American Greys are called "Killer Squirrels."
