A hawk was caught devouring a live pigeon as it desperately tried to escape.
Footage of the giant bird's feast was captured on camera in Lower Manhattan.
In the video, the unlucky pigeon frantically flaps and tries to escape, but is no match for the fierce bird of prey.
There are upwards of fifteen pairs of the birds in Manhattan and they help to keep the pests down in the city - feasting mostly on rats and mice.
