The grandson of a vicious swan nicknamed Mr Asbo was seen terrorising a Cambridge student after the merry reveller jumped into the River Cam.
The swan, who was nicknamed Asbaby as a youngster when he pecked punters, was spotted attacking the male swimmer while protecting his young.
The feathered fiend, who is now a fully-fledged swan and is following in his unruly grandfather's footsteps, was seen hissing at the man as he took a dip with friends.
Asbaby flapped his wings and flew at the frightened student, who struggled to swim away as the bird got nearer.
The bird was later joined by his partner and cygnets and continued to bully the student until he managed to scramble out of the river with help from his friends.
