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 incident happened on Saturday on Wildwood Crest’s beach. While some were asking on social media why she was filming herself eating, Victoria Shannon Reed had set up the camera to watch for gulls.

“I decided to film myself eating a sandwich on the beach because I knew the seagulls were aggressive,” she told newsgathering website Storyful. 

“While filming, a seagull came from behind me and grabbed my sandwich. This scared me and caused me to scream, become completely stunned and then decided to chase after them.”
