SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Here's something you don't see every day -- a wild turkey on a rampage.

A TV news producer in Sacramento, California wanted to check out reports of turkeys attacking joggers and she became part of the story.

On video you can see they get pretty close to each other, and the turkey doesn't really like it.

The bird chases the woman, who starts screaming for help.

A mail truck comes to her rescue and scares off the turkey -- for a few moments. But the turkey didn't go far and ran after the producer again.

She only got away when she jumped in her car.

Neighbors say the turkeys have been around for years, but all of a sudden, two of them became aggressive.
