M&S worker, 21, living in fear as he's attacked and 'laughed at' by seagulls every day walking to work

A 21-year-old man has shared his horror after being attacked by seagulls every day on his way to work. Taylor James from Lancaster walks the same route to his job as a customer assistant at Marks and Spencer and frequently encounters the angry birds.

Taylor filmed the most recent attack on July 25 after a seagull began following him - and the video has since gone viral on TikTok. Whilst recording the incident on his phone, the M&S worker begins frantically running away from the bird who can be heard squawking at him.

But before he can get away, the seagull begins to dive-bomb him several times, narrowly missing his head. As he reveals that this sort of scenario happens 'most mornings', Taylor jokes that it is a 'hate crime' as people point out the seagulls are 'laughing' at him.

"Basically, most mornings when I’m on my way to work / to catch the train, I walk down past the back of some houses and I can feel the seagulls staring at me and waiting for me to come," Taylor told NeedToKnow.Online.

"I try act calm but literally they start diving at me and that’s when I have to start running.

"As a gay boy who doesn’t ever do sport, the running part is the worst bit.

"I literally have a massive fear of seagulls now, my mum is petrified of anything that flies and I really get why now."

Since sharing the incident on the social media platform TikTok, the video has racked up more than 250,000 views and 41,000 likes.

Users on TikTok have been left in stitches, branding the moment as "hilarious".
