A wild boar bit a hiker in Hong Kong before it fell down a flight of stairs and died, according to police.
A police spokesman said the victim, 57, had arrived at a public toilet at Boon Kin Village in Tseung Kwan O on Friday morning while hiking with her husband, also 57, and a friend, when the boar suddenly emerged and chased her.
Shocked, the woman fell, hitting her head – resulting in swelling on her forehead – and scratching her limbs, police said.
Some witnesses reportedly said nearby residents came out after hearing strange noises, only to see the animal biting the woman’s leg and not letting go. The villagers grabbed wooden sticks and began to hit the boar.
It later fell down a long flight of stairs and was knocked unconscious, police said.
Officers who arrived on the scene found that the boar was dead.
