Vulture attacks a child in a restaurant in Spain .. Video

A British family was terrified while they were eating while on vacation in Spain when a large vulture pounced and tried to attack their 4-year-old girl, the British Daily Mail reported.

The newspaper added that Nicole Yidd and her family were eating dinner in a restaurant in Marbella when the eagle attacked her little girl.

The mother said her two children were playing in an area behind the family table while they were waiting for their food to arrive when a bird pounced on the girl, but her two-year-old brother managed to pull his sister away.

The bird hit a window behind the children with some force, as a result of its rapid swerve.

The bird suffered a blow to the head after hitting the glass and then quietly flew to the window for the second time as it tried to recover, where it was photographed by their older sister.

"It was the craziest thing, the eagle flew at them," the mother added.

The mother said she believed the bird that hit them was an eastern imperial eagle, a large predatory bird with a wingspan of more than two metres.
