Boar Goes Hog Wild
Tue Mar 2, 2004
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German hunter stabbed a wild boar to death in a stairwell after the beast rammed through the bolted front door of an apartment building and stormed up to the sixth floor, a Berlin newspaper reported Tuesday.
The beast from the local forest sped past a group of children playing outside and into the building in a Berlin suburb, probably in search of food. Petrified neighbors peered through their spy holes fearing their doors would not hold -- and called 36-year-old hunter Conrad Meyer.
"I grabbed him around the neck and then stabbed him square in the heart with my hunting knife," Meyer told the BZ daily newspaper, which showed him in traditional green hunter's hat and camouflage kit dragging the carcass away.
Wild boar often cause havoc in Berlin. Last April one jumped into bed with an elderly couple and in January a man was hospitalized by a boar when it crashed into his living room.
