Not really a predator-prey relationship, but a 60-year old man was attacked by a rabid wolf, only to strangle it to death. He subsequently died of rabies.

Two case reports were found.
...
The latter case involves a 60-year-old man who was attacked by a wolf while sitting in his garden. The man managed to release the wolf’s grip by strangling it to death. The man sustained a 5 cm long laceration extending from the right oral commissure in which the facial artery was exposed but not penetrated. The patient received immunoglobulin against tetanus and rabies and a full vaccination program against both agents. On the 25th day, he was brought to the emergency department with altered consciousness, fever, and increased salivation. He developed respiratory difficulties and was placed on respirator but died 4 h later. Autopsy confirmed his cause of death to be rabies (13).
