In an unusual incident this week, emergency services responded to reports of an unconscious man in Aylestone Meadows, Leicester, with a hawk attached to him on a lead. Fearing the man was in cardiac arrest, officers from the firearms and dogs unit quickly arrived at the scene, along with the East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS).
Upon arrival, it was discovered that the man was a passionate falconer, often seen in the area with his hawk. He had collapsed due to a medical condition, requiring immediate attention. However, before paramedics could assist, the hawk needed to be secured.
Thanks to the swift actions of the emergency teams, the man has since made a full recovery. The hawk was unharmed and safely returned to the care of its owner.
