Warning: Residents in a village near Luton have set up a petition to save a hawk that has attacked up to 50 people, after it was thought the council was considering putting it down.
Flamstead Parish Council vehemently denies that it is planning to euthanise the bird.
But the number of attacks are on the rise, with villagers growing increasingly concerned.
The Harris’s hawk regularly swoops down and attacks residents in the small Hertfordshire village of Flamstead, sometimes leaving victims’ heads covered in blood.
