Wild boar attacks woman at Bukit Panjang, bites off flesh from her buttocks and legs, Singapore News

She was just waiting to catch a bus. Instead, one woman found herself in an operating theatre after a wild boar attacked her on Tuesday (May 2).

The 34-year-old victim was at a bus stop in Bukit Panjang when the animal charged at her from behind, reported 8world.

The wild boar bit her buttocks and calves, dragged her onto the road and flung her around, causing wounds that required surgery, the woman's sister, Sridevi, told the Chinese publication.

Thankfully, a person who was exercising in the area helped drive the wild boar away.

The woman then called for an ambulance.

As of Wednesday morning, she has undergone three rounds of surgery.

And that won't be the end of it — she will need more surgery for the damaged nerves in her fingers.

"My sister is not in a good condition right now. She can't speak much and is still traumatised," Sridevi told the Chinese daily.

"She can't forget the feeling of being dragged to the road by the wild boar."

While wild boar sightings aren't uncommon in the area, the animals have never attacked anyone before, Sridevi said.

The National Parks Board (NParks) told Shin Min Daily News that it was alerted to the incident on Tuesday and sent staff to the scene. They found the wild boar lying by the road when they arrived.

"A veterinarian said that the animal had broken hind legs, it had to be euthanised," they said.

AsiaOne has reached out to NParks for more details.
Wild boars are sometimes spotted in the residential areas of Bukit Panjang due to its proximity to several parks including the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

Last March, the animals were believed to have entered Zhenghua Nature Park through a damaged gate.
In a separate incident in 2019, a wild boar had made its way toward Bukit Panjang Hawker Centre and Market.

According to NParks, wild boars will only attack if they are cornered or if they feel threatened.

So, what do you if you encounter a wild boar?

You should remain calm and "move slowly away from the animal". Also, you should also refrain from approaching, cornering, provoking or feeding the animal.

And if you see an adult wild boar with its piglets, leave them alone.

"They are potentially more dangerous because they may attempt to defend their young," said NParks.

We need natural predators of the wild boars. We need tigers.
 
About time the authorities start killing off some of these wild boars n pythons. There're too many of them now in urban ares n they're infringing into the neighbourhood causing fear amongst people...

Kill already can eat don't waste. Ramly burger can release a babi hutan version. Artisan burger. :biggrin:
 
Their natural habitat is being destroyed by the government everyday, forcing them out into the open. That being said, if only hunting was allowed. I know many of us would love to hunt them, wild boar meat is leaner and tastier than farmed pork.

You are magnanimous to not hold a grudge against wild boars. If only they had their own space to roam, will pose no danger to humans.
 
Not only wild boars n pythons, there're even king cobras n black spitting cobras in Sinkieland.. Imagine a cobra sneaking into your ground floor unit apartment!
 
I am surprised sinkees are not flocking to that area to hunt this wild boar for free meat. What happened to the kiasu attitude?
 
The Government should commission Bee Cheng Hiang to hunt down these wild boars.

She should be thankful the wild boar didn't bite off her neh-neh.

What is there to kiasu about a wild boar ? Why don't YOU go hunt for this wild boar yourself ?
