This Tesco had to be evacuated after an angry seagull took over the pet food aisle

The seagull menace has taken an alarming turn.

HERE IN IRELAND, we know a thing or two about overly aggressive seagulls. They’re always stealing our food and terrifying our children, but invading shops? That’s new.

A Tesco store in Truro, Cornwall had to be evacuated earlier this week after an incensed seagull flew inside and started attacking customers.

One witness was calm enough to take a video of the incident, and it’s pretty horrifying, as you might expect:

A staff member told ITV News that the bird swooped down on one customer as she entered the shop:

As far as I’m aware she was not injured just a little bit shocked and who wouldn’t be, no one expects to go into their local Tesco and be greeted by a peed-off seagull.

No one indeed. More updates on the ever-worsening seagull menace as we get them.
