Wednesday, April 8, 2015, 5:15 PM - It appears the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. A family of swans is attacking people in Cambridge, UK -- continuing a tradition that has apparently gone on for generations.
It all started with Mr. Asbo, an swan who angrily lashed out at people in row boats.
His outbursts got to be so intense that officials had to move him to a secret location two years ago, Cambridge News reports.
Last summer, Asbo had a son, named Asboy.
Asboy kept the tradition going by terrorizing swimmers, rowers and even a cow, the news agency reports.
Now -- Asbo's grandson, Asbaby, is on the prowl -- and he's proven to be quite the bully.
Asbaby apparently indulged in a series of "drive-by peckings" over Easter weekend in an attempt to steal sandwiches, drinks and a purse.
The grandson is allegedly the worst of the bunch and is known to chase people and steal their food.
"Once I even saw him put his beak around a bottle of champagne," one local told Cambridge News.
