Many Bay Area towns and cities seeing more wild turkeys than usual this year. In Fremont, one fed-up homeowner says a turkey attacked him.
In the past few years, the Warm Springs neighborhood in Fremont hasn’t been the same since a gang moved in.
Hershel Abelman owns an apartment building in the neighborhood.
“I can’t go after them unless I’m carrying a broom or some other show of force that will get them running out of here,” he says. “ And then they don’t run that far.”
Daniel Jaramillo says he usually says hello to them but one day he didn’t.
“And I don’t know if he got upset but he attacked me. He jumped on my back,” says Jaramillo. “The same turkey attacked the mailman, attacked my neighbor. The turkeys were nice in the beginning when they had little babies but now they’re getting aggressive.”
