Bird kills man

A man has died after being stabbed by a bird.

Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, was taken to Delano Regional Medical Centre in California after a cockerel - which had a sharp blade tied to one of its limbs - stabbed him in the leg during an illegal cockfight.

He died in hospital two hours after the accident, after initially running away in fear of being caught participating in the gambling event.

Sergeant Martin King, who was called to the scene said:"I have never seen this type of incident. People have been known to bleed out from those injuries if medical attention is not obtained immediately."
