‘At least it was me and not anyone else’: Animal lover attacked by wild boar in Bukit Panjang

When confronted by a boar, remain as calm as possible and move away slowly while keeping a safe distance, and refrain from cornering or provoking the animal. - ST

SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): When she was attacked by a wild boar on her way home, her first thought was not one of fear but of concern for the animal, as she knew it would be put down for the attack.

Durga Devi, 34, had alighted at a bus stop in Bukit Panjang Road close to midnight on Labour Day when she was attacked by the animal four times, as it flung her from side to side before throwing her on the road.
