A hawk's reign of terror in an English village has finally come to an end.
A Harris' hawk, which is a bird of prey native to the Americas, had been blamed for about 50 dive-bombing attacks on unsuspecting residents and mail carriers, including one who was left beaten and bloodied. The angry hawk's behavior forced parents to keep their kids indoors.
Last week, a resident named Steve Harris finally captured the bird in a cage after it had chased him around the neighborhood. The hawk ultimately landed on his shed and that's when Harris was able to trap it. A trained falconer then swooped in to help remove it from the property. The falconer is now taking care of it.
