I did not know that the Bronx Zoo which is located in New York City had peacocks inside of the zoo.
A peacock that was inside the zoo managed to escape and attacked a man who was walking outside on the street when he attempted to assist the bird when he was attacked by the peacock who did return back to the zoo early the next morning.
The name of the man who was attacked by the peacock was not released. He was examined by New York City firefighters and police officers answered the call for help.
After the peacock attack victim was checked by the firefighters He was found to be okay and released.
The name of the peacock is Raul. I remember an ad on television when my relatives and myself had to leave the New Orleans area to evacuate from Hurricane Georges to relatives in Fort Worth Texas where an ad for the New York Yankees baseball team during the playoffs with the message "Only In New York."

@CarolDM I do not know much about peacocks except that they are the logo of the National Broadcasting Company.

I guess Raul thought the man should have minded his own business.

That is what I am thinking that the peacock did not want to be disturbed.

I'm glad Raul did not injure the man too much. I'm glad the peacock was returned to the zoo.
