A wild turkey reportedly acting aggressively attacked a responding police officer's vehicle in Vacaville Sunday morning, police said.
A citizen flagged down a Vacaville police officer at the county airport and said there was an "aggressive" turkey in the area, according to police. After being found, the turkey – nicknamed the "Vacavilloceraptor" – attacked the officer's vehicle.
The officer retreated "as a de-escalation tactic," police said, adding that the Solano County Sheriff's Office would be notified since the incident occurred in their jurisdiction.

"If your vehicle is attacked by an aggressive turkey, stay in your vehicle, they haven’t figured out door handles yet," police wrote on Facebook. "Also, consider safely driving away, they can only run up to 25mph."
