Looks how cute he/she is:

From WIKI

Raccoons do not normally attack humans. They are shy, intelligent animals that usually avoid people. However, attacks can happen in specific situations:

When raccoons might attack

Rabies or disease ????
Rabid raccoons may act aggressively, approach humans, or attack without provocation.
Cornered or threatened
If a raccoon feels trapped, it may bite or scratch to defend itself.
Protecting young
A mother raccoon defending her kits can be aggressive.
Habituation to humans
Raccoons that are fed by people may lose fear and behave aggressively if food is expected.

How dangerous are raccoon attacks?

Serious attacks are very uncommon
Most incidents involve bites or scratches
The main risk is rabies, not physical strength
In North America, raccoons are one of the primary rabies carriers

What to do if you encounter a raccoon

Do not feed it
Keep distance and do not corner it
Make noise and back away slowly
If it acts strangely (staggering, daytime aggression), contact animal control

Bottom line

Raccoons are not aggressive toward humans by nature. Attacks are exceptional and usually linked to illness, fear, or human behavior. Treat them as wild animals, not pets, and problems are very unlikely.

If you want, I can also explain how raccoon attacks compare to dogs, coyotes, or foxes, or what to do after a bite.
