A Hong Kong woman was sent to hospital in the early hours of Saturday after a boar attacked her while she slept during a camping trip on the city’s tallest peak. The force received a report at 2.09am that the animal had bitten the 29-year-old woman while she and another hiker camped out on Tai Mo Shan for the night.
Emergency personnel searched for the victim, who was discovered with a 5cm wound down one of her legs, and sent her to Yan Chai Hospital in Tsuen Wan for treatment, police said. The force said it had classified the case as an “animal bite”, adding that no trace of the boar had been found..
