There’s panic in the streets of London — and across England — over increasingly violent seagull attacks, with at least one terrified victim warning that it’s only a matter of time before one proves fatal.

“I don’t think it’s going to be long before a child is seriously injured or an elderly person falls trying to get away from a seagull and bangs their head, which could be fatal,” Roy Pickup told The Sun.

Last month, Roy, 77, and his wife, Brenda, were terrorized by a group of gulls nesting above the front door of their home near Morecambe Bay.

Each time the couple stepped outside, they were attacked by the aggressive birds, the report said.

Roy said he had to be hospitalized for cuts to the back of his head.

Worcester’s former mayor, Alan Amos, is chicken too — and agreed with Pickup’s dire assessment.

“It might sound ridiculous but I believe it won’t be long before a baby becomes the next victim of Britain’s increasingly aggressive seagulls,” Amos said.

“People and animals up and down the country are being victimized by these gulls, which have been known to grow as big as a dog,” he continued.

Small dogs are apparently already on the birds’ menu.

A gull reportedly swiped a chihuahua, named Gizmo, from the Paignton, Devon home of Rebecca Hill.

“My partner was in the garden putting the washing out at the time, and suddenly he saw it swoop down,” Hill, 24, told the DevonLive. “It carried Gizmo a fair way, as we couldn’t see him anymore. I have no idea if he was dropped or where he is now.”

The pooch is still missing.
