Fairfield officials are looking to fight back after a group of hawks is being blamed for seven attacks on people in the past three months.
Ray Condon says his son was attacked yesterday outside Fairfield Ludlowe High School, when the bird swooped down and struck his son on the head.
Nelson North of the Connecticut Audubon Society in Fairfield says the animals have gotten even more aggressive after he moved a hawk nest several weeks ago following an earlier attack.
Officials say they are hiring a predatory bird expert to trap and move the birds to a less populated area before another person is injured.
