Wild boars prevent the arrest of a cyclist

And suddenly a pack of wild boars stood in the way. The police didn't have a chance anymore.

Karlsruhe – A pack of wild boars prevented the arrest of a cyclist in Karlsruhe on Friday. When police officers tried to stop him because he was driving on the sidewalk and without lights, he fled, a spokesman said.

Investigators went in pursuit on foot. Then, unexpectedly, a pack of wild boars confronted the police. There were ten of the animals on a lawn between residential buildings. The officers had to take a detour, losing sight of the cyclist. He left the bike behind. It is said to have been stolen.
