A man has described the moment he was struck by a swooping buzzard as he walked along a footpath, saying it felt like someone had "thrown a brick" at him. Ben Storer said he was walking near the village of Coleorton, Leicestershire, when the bird attacked him. The 50-year-old later visited hospital for his wound to be cleaned and glued, where he said staff had a "hard time" believing the cause of the injury. Ben Storer spoke to Â鶹Éç reporter Helen Astle, and Radio Leicester's Ady Dayman spoke to Stephen Cleaver who owns the nearby Gelsmoor Restaurant, and falconer Wayne Housden explained why the buzzard attacks are happening.
