A wild boar stormed into a village, resulting in injuries to two villagers in southern China.

The terrifying CCTV footage was filmed in Guangyuan City in Sichuan Province on March 24. A wild boar barged into a villager's home, targeting an elderly resident. Despite attempts to fend off the animal, the elderly individual was knocked to the ground by the relentless assault.

The boar then continued its frenzied attack, viciously tearing at the clothes of the fallen villager. Even as the villager attempted to rise, the boar persisted, ultimately tearing off one of the victim's shoes. The ordeal lasted over two minutes, with the villager resorting to defending themselves with a wooden stick in a desperate struggle for survival.

Remarkably, the elderly villager managed to repel the boar, only for the animal to circle back and attack the niece who had come to assist. With sheer determination, the elderly villager confronted the boar once more, engaging in a perilous confrontation until the beast retreated.

Mr. Luo, the secretary of the Songbai Village Party Branch, recounted receiving a distressing phone call about the wild boar incursion. Despite the village's remote location, authorities were promptly alerted, and efforts were made to provide immediate assistance to the injured.

Luo revealed that injuries sustained by the victims included wounds inflicted by the boar's tusks and spinal injuries for the elderly individual, while the niece suffered a fractured rib after a fall. He emphasised that such attacks were unprecedented in the village, where encounters with wild boars typically involved crop damage.

Authorities from the local forestry department assured that measures would be taken to prevent similar incidents, including increased patrols by forest rangers.
