Young mute swan attacked by adult swans

Recently there has been a swan, I want to say roughly 6 months of age, due to pale beak and dark feathers still present. Today two other swans approached the swan. Both were adult. The bigger of the two attacked the smaller pulling its feathers out. The baby swan has not entered the water again. Napped during the day and has been up and about through the darkness.
