<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Woman attacked by a wild boar on a beach in Alicante

A 67-year-old woman has been bitten on the leg by a wild boar at Racó beach in Albir during a terrifying incident which took the victim and other beachgoers completely by surprise.

According to the Emergency Service of the Generalitat Valenciana, the boar suddenly appeared from the water and the woman didn't have a chance to run away as it charged and bit her.

The victim was treated by a medical team at the scene and was then taken to the local health centre for further attention to the bite wound.

Daylight sightings of wild boar have risen considerably in Alicante province, and last month a dog was attacked by a group of the animals in Parcent.

And in the last 12 months, boar running into the road have caused three road traffic accidents in nearby Denia, one of which led to a three-car pile-up in which three people were injured.
