A PACK of wild boars fleeing hunters went on a two-hour rampage through
a small southern German village, biting people and damaging cars and shops.

The weekend mayhem began during morning shopping hours in the town of
Veitshoechheim, a police spokesman said today.

Three boars were shot by police, a number of others were killed in
traffic accidents and several bit pedestrians.

"One wild boar entered a boutique, scaring the daylights out of a
saleswoman," local police said.

"She tried to hide behind the cash register. When the animal ran out of
her shop it smashed the store's inventory, causing 1,000 euros ($1700)
damage."

The animals caused further damage to cars amounting to several thousand
euros, police added.
