Wild boar goes on beach rampage injuring two

A wild boar injured two officials during a beach rampage in Costa Blanca, Spain, on Friday, 2 June.

Authorities had to evacuate an area of the beach while they attempted to catch the boar.

Footage filmed by onlookers shows the boar attacking a police officer and member of the Animal Protection Agency.

Police shot the animal dead after a failed two-hour-long operation to capture the 100 kg boar.

The wild boar allegedly fell into the Seco River from a cliff near the Club Náutico.
