A man who was high on drugs has been arrested in the UK after he bit a seagull he says went for his McDonalds meal.
Officers from the Charles Cross Police team in Plymouth said in a tweet they detained a male who attacked and injured a seagull in the city centre.
The 26-year-old local man said he attacked the bird because it went after his McDonalds, Plymouth Live reported.
A police spokesperson told Plymouth Live the man "sunk his teeth into it before throwing it on the floor."
"Officers had seen the incident and immediately went over and detained and took details from him.
"Around this time, the man volunteered the information that he was under the influence of drugs and it was decided that he should be taken to Derriford Hospital for treatment.
"The seagull was clearly injured by the incident but flew off before we were able to check on its welfare. We don't know what happened to it afterwards," Plymouth Live reported.
According to the tweet the seagull flew off before it could be checked.
It is not the first time someone in Plymouth has had an altercation with a seagull, in January Paul Elcombe was arrested for throwing a seagull at a man he was having an argument with.
