A seagull which swooped on an unsuspecting customer at a fish and chip shop was brutally kicked to death.

The herring gull stole its supper from a takeaway at Marine Parade in Barmouth, Wales at around 1pm on August 4.

It was then attacked and kicked by the angry customer before later dying from its injuries, the RSPCA said.

The charity has released a picture of a man with curly hair and a black jacket who they would like to speak to, Metro reported.

They are asking for any witnesses to come forward.
