Street and sour: Chinese police kill wild boar rampaging through city... then STIR-FRY him for supper


    Armed police gunned down a rampaging wild boar in a Chinese city centre - and then served it up as sweet and sour pork.

    The huge wild pig had burst into a hospital complex in Taiyuan, Shanxi province, northern China, and charged at staff who tried to fend it off with sticks and clubs.

    ‘It was mad with hunger and when we tried to stop it, the boar came after us,’ said a hospital spokesman.

    ‘No matter what we did we couldn't drive it away.’

    Police eventually cornered the 200lbs beast and brought it down with 13 rounds from their handguns - and then carted the carcass off to the local butcher.

    ‘He turned it into some very tasty cuts which we cooked and ate that night as a feast for the whole station,’ said one officer.

    'It's sad he had to die but he made a delicious meal.'
