According to a <\/span>report by People, the incident took place on December 2 in Auckland, when Jessica Tyson, a reporter and former Miss World New Zealand, was shooting a story on fast fashion. Just as she was preparing for a second take, the seagull flew directly into her face, jolting her head to the side.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the video posted by Tyson, she is seen turning away and clutching her face as she exclaims, “Holy sh**”. Members of the film crew quickly rush to check on her. “You’re bleeding,” a colleague is heard saying, prompting Tyson to touch her face in disbelief.<\/p>\n

Tyson was filming for Te Ao with Moana, a current affairs programme that analyses news through a Maori perspective. Momentarily shaken, she later appeared on screen with a visible cut above her left eye, with blood trailing down her cheek.<\/p>\n

“Its beak or claws must have hit me because I was left with a scar above my left eye, below my eyebrow – just missing my eyeball, luckily,” Tyson wrote on Facebook.<\/span> She added that the bird appeared uninjured and flew away before she rushed to a nearby office to clean up and continue filming.<\/p>\n

Social media users flooded the comments with concern and humour. “Omg Jess! You poor thing,” one user wrote, while another joked, “Not me thinking, ‘It’s a sign.’”<\/p>\n

Tyson also revealed that she had recently injured herself several times, including cutting her finger and falling off her bicycle. “Soooo weird!” she wrote, adding that she performed a karakia, a Maori prayer, to prevent further mishaps.<\/p>\n

Despite the scare, the reporter assured followers that she is fine. “All is well now,” Tyson said, adding that she finally understands “why people are so afraid of birds”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
