Wild boar caught after injuring several people during city rampage

A wild boar was filmed rampaging in a busy street in China after injuring several people on Friday 8 December.

Footage shows the animal charging at pedestrians and bikers who are trying to run away.

The animal was reportedly first seen after breaking an individual’s ribs by knocking him from behind at around 4:10 pm.

Five minutes later, it attacked a four-year-old boy, leaving him with an open wound on his right knee.

After a series of further incidents, police rushed to the scene and put the wild boar down to ensure the locals’ safety and prevent it from attacking other people.
