An unlucky hiker gave a bite of his sandwich to a goat only for the animal to headbutt him to try and steal the rest.

Poyan Khosnevis was on a hiker through Samaria Gorge, Crete, Greece, on August 7 when he sat down to enjoy a spot of lunch.

Hilarious footage shows the moment a hungry Cretan goat – also known as a kri-kri - walked over to him and accepts a bite of his sandwich.

However, clearly not satisfied with just one bit, the goat reared up and then flung itself headfirst at Poyan to knock the rest of the meal out of his hand.

Poyan said: “I’d been on a hike with my partner for a couple of hours when we decided to stop halfway for a rest and to eat our home-prepared sandwiches.

“Suddenly this Cretan goat appeared and he was clearly interested in our lunch, so I gave him a little taste.

“Clearly he was not satisfied with just part of the food and he suddenly hit me.

“It surprised me so much he knocked my phone and sandwich out of my hand.”
