A wild boar has been shot dead in South Korea after rampaging through a city and leaving a man with bite marks across his arm.<\/p>\n

Police and fire department officials are investigating how the animal was able to make its way across Yangsan<\/a><\/strong> in the province of Gyeongsangnam-do.<\/p>\n

When the boar – which police said was around 1.5m (4.92ft) in length and weighed 100kg (220lbs) – reached Hopo railway station, it left bite marks along the right arm of a man, according to the Korea JoongAng Daily<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The injuries were described as non-life threatening, but the man was taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

The animal had earlier reportedly crossed an eight-lane road and managed to reach different floors at the rail station.<\/p>\n

After attacking the man near toilets on the third floor, the boar damaged a glass door at the customer service area on the fourth level.<\/p>\n

The boar was first seen near a restaurant in the Dong-myeon area of Yangsan at around 4.45pm on Tuesday, fire officials said.<\/p>\n
