Wild Boar Goes on Rampage in Berlin

Berlin authorities say they shot and killed a 265-pound wild boar after it attacked and injured four people including a police officer in a residential neighborhood. The boar bit a 74-year-old man on the back and leg, and knocked a 74-year-old woman to the ground and injured her hip yesterday afternoon. It also bit a 24-year-old woman before she climbed aboard a parked car to safety. Wild boars are relatively common in green Berlin, though they rarely cause problems beyond digging up gardens.
