This is the dramatic moment a wild boar sparked chaos at a children's party.

Hafizah Hamzah was with her son when the Eurasian wild boar wandered into a park in Pahang, Malaysia.

Footage shows mothers and their children scrambling to dodge the animal as it ran through the playground on June 21.

The boar reportedly bolted away from the crowd shortly after.

No one was reportedly injured during the encounter.

Wild boars have increasingly become a problem in the country due to habitat loss and a growing population, leading to frequent encroachment into urban and agricultural areas.

The animals have reportedly caused significant crop damage, road accidents, and public safety concerns, prompting authorities in some states to introduce control measures such as trapping programmes and restrictions on hunting.
