The attack occurred around 6 p.m. Tuesday, and the woman was able to swim to shore and receive medical assistance.
The Barcroft Association has temporarily closed Lake Barcroft to residents in light of the attack.
Friday, Fairfax County officials released this video offering safety tips to residents who may encounter rabid or aggressive animals in the area. The video is viewable in the media box to the right.

Incredibly valuable tips. I never would have figured this out without government assistance. These tips are also useful in the event of invading Mongol hordes.
This is almost as useful as the assistance provided by FFX Co. following the June storm and multi day power outage.
