This is the shocking moment a wild boar goes on a rampage inside a children's clothing store, leaving several people injured in China.

Dramatic footage shows the boar smashing items inside the store while terrified customers try to dodge its deadly tusks in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, on October 25, around 9 am.

The hog then runs out onto the street, charging at the numerous people gathered outside.

Another clip shows a man attempting to defend himself from the aggressive animal with a wooden stick. However, this only makes the boar more aggressive and it attacks him and pins him against a wall.

Several injuries were reported in the incident, but none were life-threatening.

The man with the stick, Mr Wang, said he tried to chase it away, but it knocked him down and bit his thigh.

He said: 'Another person was bitten on the hand.'

Police and the forestry bureau launched a capture operation, successfully apprehending the boar after over an hour of pursuit.

Officials issued a reminder that wild boars are large, aggressive, and dangerous. Residents who encounter one should remain calm and avoid disturbing, provoking, chasing, watching, or feeding the animal, as this may frighten it and trigger aggressive behaviour.
