Employees at a business in southeast Calgary are keeping their eyes to the sky after a co-worker was attacked by an aggressive hawk.
Employees at a southeast Calgary transportation business are keeping a close eye on the sky after one of their co-workers was attacked by a hawk.
The man was walking into his workplace Wednesday morning when the incident is said to have happened.
“One of our co-workers, when he got to work, (the hawks) swooped down and pegged his head,” employee Lisa Kozak told Global News.
Kozak said she as far as she knows the coworker wasn’t seriously hurt, but added he did need to receive medical care.
The incident doesn’t surprise another employee, Drake Brown, who said it happens regularly.
“Every single day somebody gets swooped on,” he said. “Every day.”
Global News observed at least three hawks sitting in the trees right beside the business.
Brown said at first there was only one, but then several others appeared.
