Hawk 'attacks' man on supermarket car park

Footage has emerged of a hawk swooping at a man on a car park in Atlanta, GA, USA.

The video, shot earlier this month, captures the moment the red-shouldered hawk flew off its perch in the direction of the filmer.

"I decided to see how close would let me get. I didn't expected to swoop off its perch directly at me," the filmer wrote online.
