seagull swooped down and clawed her as she walked home. Brenda Thrumble said she resembled “something from a Freddy Krueger film” as a result of the attack. Caught off guard, the 66-year-old was forced to hide behind a bush in order to escape the gull’s wrath.
In the aftermath, Mrs Thrumble got a tetanus injection on the advice of doctors to avoid suffering a bacterial infection. She fell victim to the angry bird, thought to have been protecting its young, on Wednesday afternoon as she made her way home in St Peters in Broadstairs, Kent. “I was walking along, minding my own business when suddenly something went for my head,” she said.
“It came at me from behind so there was no way of expecting anything, it just went ‘whack’ on my head. I put my hand on my head and blood was coming out profusely. I thought ‘oh my gosh’ that’s a lot.
It had instantly drawn blood, it went at me with its claws rather than beak. There was lots of blood from the claws that had gone straight across my head. “I looked like something from a Freddy Krueger film.
Blood was pouring out, down my face, top and onto my toes. It was a real shock. There were lots of little holes where it had clawed at me, so there wasn’t one big gash.
It was a right old nightmare and not a good experience to have. ”Mrs Thrumble took cover behind an overhanging hedge before being escorted to safety by a neighbour wearing a motorbike helmet. She said: “I was frightened to move, and afraid of it coming at me again.
I was close to a wall when it swooped. “A nice man called Aaron on a motorbike came to help me and walked with me to his house. He was wearing a helmet and we got there without the seagull attacking.
