Wild boar attacks travellers at Hong Kong subway station

A woman and a 15-year-old boy have been injured after being attacked by a wild boar in a subway station in Hong Kong.

In the video, we see the animal trotting on a moving escalator at the exit of Fo Tan MTR station in Hong Kong, attacking people as they encounter it.

The teenager was bitten on the arm by the wild animal while the female passenger was bitten on the leg.

The woman who happened to be going up the other escalator noticed the boar. The animal rammed into her, knocking her over.

Responding to the woman calling for help, the young boy wearing sportswear ran down the upper stairs before also being attacked by the wild hog.
