Woman Injured In Horrific Seagull Attack

Signs are normally there for a reason - so really you ignore them at your peril. Sometimes the consequences can be quite scary as this report in the Dorest Echo reveals. A grandmother was battered and bruised during a bizarre seagull attack just a few yards from her Weymouth home. Apparently three birds repeatedly dive-bombed Delphine Mutch as she tried to get home from a nearby doctor’s surgery.

But she tripped, landing face first on the pavement, where the birds – described as ‘something out of Hitchcock classic scary film’ – continued to attack and peck her as she cowered helpless on the floor. Eventually, reportedly covered in blood, she managed to stumble to nearby OJos hairdressers to raise the alarm.

“When one of the girls heard my calls for help she came to the door and said, ‘Have you been beaten up?’” said the 49-year-old.

A spokesman for Weymouth and Portland Borough Council sympathised with Delphine’s plight, but added: “We put up signage and do all we can to discourage people feeding the seagulls. Unfortunately at this time of year, because they are nesting, they can be aggressive.”
