The bird of prey moved its head but did not try to get away or fly away from two passersby who stopped to help. The hawk possibly was drawn to area near the median by a dead squirrel in the street that had been killed a few days earlier.
An Oakwood Public Safety officer who responded in an Oakwood police cruiser wrapped the hawk in his firefighter turnout coat and took him to the car of a woman who also had stopped to help.
She was going to be taking the animal to the Glen Helen Raptor Center in Yellow Springs for treatment.
