A viral video showing a Harris’ hawk terrorising an English village has led to its capture after it was blamed for over 50 dive-bombing attacks on unsuspecting locals. The aggressive bird had become a nuisance , drawing blood in some cases and even causing disruptions to Royal Mail services. Steve Harris, a local resident, was the one who eventually trapped the hawk, after the bird had chased him during his daily runs. The dramatic moment, captured in another viral video, shows Harris successfully trapping the hawk in a cage after it landed on his shed.
