An elderly man sustained injuries after a wild boar charged into an ATM counter in southern India’s Kerala, causing broken glass and chaos.

The incident took place in the SIB ATM counter near the Erumely bus stand at Mundakayam road in the Kottayam district on November 11.

Visuals showed as Gopalan was attempting to withdraw money. Moments after he inserted his card, he heard the back glass door crash loudly. Startled, he saw the wild boar charging toward the counter. Though Gopalan managed to escape outside before the animal could attack him, the shattered glass from the ATM injured his legs.The boar was seen running back and forth within the counter before finally exiting.

According to local police, the wild boar escaped from the forest and later crashed into the ATM, injuring an elderly man, before retreating back into the forest area. Gopalan received treatment at the Erumeli Community Health Centre, requiring two stitches on his left leg. Following the incident, the bank promptly closed the ATM. A group of wild boars had been running along the road and through the settlement area in the Charal region on Monday morning. It is suspected that one of these boars entered the ATM.
