A beach-goer in New Jersey was left hungry after a seagull swooped in and stole the sandwich she was eating right out of her hand.
The event occurred on Saturday at the beach in Wildwood Crest. Some social media users were curious about why she was recording herself eating, but Victoria Shannon Reed had positioned the camera to keep an eye out for seagulls.
“I decided to film myself eating a sandwich on the beach because I knew the seagulls were aggressive,” she told newsgathering website Storyful.
“During the recording, a seagull swooped in from behind and snatched my sandwich. Startled, I screamed, was momentarily in shock, and then decided to run after them.”
