A wild boar runs through Zaragoza during the Pilar Festival and ends up in a bar: "It looked like a big dog, it was galloping"

A wild boar surprised passers-by this Sunday morning who were in the heart of Zaragoza celebrating the last weekend of the Pilar Festival. According to Heraldo de Aragón, it is unknown where he entered the city and how he could get to the center, where he ended up in the bar area of ​​the Old Town, which at that time was full of people.

Some of those who came across the animal captured its journey through the streets of the city, such as the Paseo de la Independencia, and published the images on social networks.

In them, the wild boar appears running aimlessly through the center of Zaragoza, before the astonished eyes of those who encountered it in its path, including families with children. During his escape he has caused no damage.

One of these Zaragoza residents who came face to face with the animal has told Heraldo how he experienced this unusual situation. "We were with children and I focused on getting them away, because I was also going at full speed," he describes. "At first it seemed like a very big dog, but I immediately saw that it was a wild boar," he adds.

The Local Police received the first notice of the presence of the wild boar at 0:40 a.m. this Sunday after having seen the animal running through the area of ​​Asalto and Jorge Cocci streets in the Aragonese capital.

From that moment, a device tried to fence and redirect the wild pig to the outskirts of the city. However, the animal continued running through the streets Aznar Molina, Camino Torres, Cesáreo Alierta, Plaza de los Sitios, Sanclemente and Paseo de la Independencia.

"We feared for the people at the tram stop in Plaza de España, but when he made a move to come further to the right, one of the police cars that were following him accelerated and made him turn back to the left, in the direction of Plaza de España," says this witness. As he explains, he was "at full speed, running at a gallop" and "the poor guy was quite scared."

Their last stop was the Old Town and, specifically, a bar on Temple Street, completely packed with people, as seen in other images on social networks.
