This horrifying footage captures the moment a young boy is chased along a beach by gulls after trying to feed them.
Shared more than 11,000 times online, the video, filmed at Seal Isle City in New Jersey, has become a hit largely thanks to the awful slow motion screeching of the birds – so for the full effect, make sure to watch with sound.
While some viewers seem amused by the video, others have been left more concerned for the well-being of the young boy, who is last seen being chased off camera screaming by the flock of hungry birds.
