Horrifying moment when a huge swarm of bees attack an LAPD volunteer after terrorizing a neighborhood – leaving three people hospitalized

  • The bees continued to attack the volunteer officer as he lay on the ground in Encino, California, his blood dripping onto the asphalt

A huge swarm of bees attacked a volunteer Los Angeles Police Department officer while trying to help another man who was being terrorized by the bugs.

The aggressive swarm of insects attacked people just before 4 p.m. in Encino, California — and a total of three people required medical attention.

Emergency services were first called to a hilly area on Adlon Road, and an LAPD volunteer arrived to assist the scene.

But then the bees began to swarm him – and shocking footage showed him unsuccessfully trying to swat them away as they stung him several times.

He was seen to begin to struggle as he swatted away the bugs, before stumbling in a daze and banging his head as he fell to the ground.

The bees continued to attack him as he lay on the ground, and his blood dripped onto the asphalt.

His uniformed partner kept the door to their car closed as the bees continued to swarm.

He was eventually able to get up and walk away from the scene, and was taken to hospital for his injuries.

Professional bee removers were called to the scene to help with the problem, police said Fox 11.

Two men — the first person to call 911 and then the LAPD support officer seen in the clip — were taken to the hospital.

A woman was also stabbed and, according to police, drove herself to the hospital Washington Times.

People in the area were told to close all doors and windows in the aftermath of the bee swarm.

The LAPD said in a statement, “One of our LAPD volunteers assigned to the West Valley Division suffered dozens of bee stings earlier today while assisting a call-to-service. Fortunately, he is in stable condition at a local hospital.

“I wish him a speedy and full recovery. We thank him for volunteering to protect and serve. All of our LAPD volunteers are invaluable.”

It comes after an Arizona mother of two and her two daughters were attacked by bees during a family photo shoot earlier this month.

The Arizona Fire and Medical Authority said the unnamed mother rushed her children into a nearby car when they were overrun by the bees in Buckeye Valley, thus “taking the brunt of the stings.”

Because of her “quick thinking,” the children were not stung, the AFMA said in a Facebook post Monday, but the woman suffered more than 75 bee stings and had to be transported to a local hospital in the aftermath.

She has since recovered and has been discharged from the institution.

Meanwhile, passengers aboard a Delta Air Lines flight bound for Atlanta were trapped on the tarmac at Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport for four hours earlier this month when a swarm of bees clung to the plane’s wing.

The malfunction forced the captain to delay takeoff.

Delta called in pest control and later a beekeeper to deal with the swarm, journalist Anjali Enjeti said on Twitter.

The reporter added that pest control was not allowed to spray an aircraft and the beekeeper was not allowed to touch aircraft.
