Description: Residents of NYCHA's Claremont Consolidation Houses in the Bronx told Fox 5 that rats eat their food, chew through wires and walls, and even bite them and their children while they're sleeping. The problem has gotten so bad, one resident had to resort to hand-to-hand combat to save a family member. He showed us a dead rat that he said he killed in his apartment.
