A cool video from the Newsflare archive of a hawk attacking a drone above a park in Massachusetts.

Drone operator Chris Schmidt was flying his remote controlled quadcopter near Magazine Beach, Cambridge, when the red-tailed hawk swooped in and attacked the device in mid-air, causing it to crash to the ground.

According to Schmidt, neither hawk nor drone were harmed in the incident.

'My initial reaction when the hawk came in was to turn off the motors as quickly as possible to eliminate any potential problems for him', Schmidt wrote online.
