Police and fire officials have launched an investigation after the wild boar was able to make its way across a city and into different floors at a railway station.
A wild boar has been shot dead in South Korea after rampaging through a city and leaving a man with bite marks across his arm. Police and fire department officials are investigating how the animal was able to make its way across Yangsan in the province of Gyeongsangnam-do. When the boar - which police said was around 1.5m in length and weighed 100kg - reached Hopo railway station, it left bite marks along the right arm of a man, according to the Korea JoongAng Daily.
The animal had earlier reportedly crossed an eight-lane road and managed to reach different floors at the rail station. After attacking the man near toilets on the third floor, the boar damaged a glass door at the customer service area on the fourth level. The boar was first seen near a restaurant in the Dong-myeon area of Yangsan at around 4.45pm on Tuesday, fire officials said.
