Wild boar causes panic in Chinese office

A wild boar sparked chaos in China when it rampaged through an office and tried to escape through a window. The animal rushed into a bus control centre in Shantou, in the Guangdong Province, and shattered a glass door before breaking a water pipe on its way out.

Surveillance footage shows the wild boar running into the waiting area and then jumping onto a chair where it tries to smash the window. A cook working there picked up a plastic stool and attempted to use it to scare away the boar, but it gnawed at the stool and pushed it away.

In a final bid to escape the room, the boar charged into a glass door before running outside. "I was very scared. That boar weighed about 50kg and looked quite ferocious. It was brown," recalled the cook.

The boar returned later and ran through the car park but did not enter the waiting room, instead destroying water pipes behind a house. According to the bus centre's director, a group of people ended up working together to capture the wild boar and carry it away.
