A teenager was left bloodied and "terrified" after a seagull launched an attack on her while she was trying to help a baby gull which had wandered onto a busy road.

Shannon Harris, an 18-year-old student at Aberystwyth University, was left with a gash to her head after the bird stabbed her with its beak in her university town.

"I ran back to my house with one seagull caught in my hair and the others still swooping down on me, clipping their beaks. I was terrified - my hands were shaking so much I couldn't unlock my front door," Harris told ITV.
