Falcon Steals Man's Sandwich in Central Japan

A man had an unwanted guest appear during a solo lunch in central Japan in mid-April, capturing the moment a falcon stole his sandwich.

Footage filmed Minh Nguyen Anh, who said he filmed it in Shimoda on April 14, shows him unwrapping and taking a bite of a sandwich, before a falcon swoops in and takes the rest of it from his hand.

“All of a sudden a big giant bird snatched it away from me,” he told Storyful.

Other social media users were quick to point out the giant bird was in fact a falcon.

“This is a falcon. You could have really gotten hurt. You’re lucky it was so precise,” one user said. Credit: Minh Nguyen Anh via Storyful
