An aggressive wild boar injured three people on Monday afternoon at a motorhome site near Rhodt in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The victims included a 77-year-old man, who was lightly injured on his leg, and a 66-year-old man along with his 62-year-old companion, both of whom also sustained minor leg injuries.
All three injured individuals were taken to local hospitals for treatment following the incident.
