Bird Goes on the Attack in Ohio
June 13, 2006
PUT-IN-BAY, Ohio – Alfred Hitchcock might have been proud. Police thought Lake Erie island tourists were kidding when they claimed they had been attacked by a bird. But then, officers got pecked on when they went to check Friday night.
Police aren’t sure about the bird’s species, but said it was black with red spots. They think it may have been trying to protect one of its babies, which had fallen out of the nest.
Yesterday, the baby was no longer on the ground, and officers said there were no more reports of bird attacks.
Last year, joggers also said they’d been attacked by a bird. Police don’t know if it was the same kind.
