The Martin County Sheriff's Office in Florida said Cpl. Andrew Porcelli was baffled as to what had "bounced" off the side of his head until he reviewed footage from a nearby security camera and discovered he had been dive-bombed by a hawk.

"All he knew is that the impact nearly knocked him off his feet," the post said.
Porcelli reviewed footage from a nearby security camera and was surprised to discover the impact had been a dive-bombing hawk.
"Security footage captured the feisty feather fighter go in for the dive with a precision T-bone hit to the target," the Facebook post said.
The sheriff's office said Porcelli "sustained a signature hawk scratch to the head," but was otherwise uninjured.
"As for the hawk, she was likely in nest protective mode," the sheriff's office wrote. "So, it's a good time to remind everyone to remain alert, so you too don't have to wonder what the 'hawk' just happened."
