The second cop was taken to hospital to assess his condition and receive an anti-rabies vaccine.
The wild boar showed up on the streets of Entrevías in the Spanish capital Madrid on Saturday (19 Oct) morning.
The police barricaded streets as they attempted to capture the animal.
In the video, the boar is seen jumping over a car.
The animal then manages to flee the area as onlookers gasp in shock.
The police tracked the boar through the city streets with the help of a drone.
At one point, it made its way onto a platform at the El Pozo railway station before ending up on the tracks.
The animal then attacked one cop and bit the other at the station.
The authorities followed the animal for around two miles before it ended up in a vacant plot of land.
The police said they had no choice but to shoot the animal dead to ensure the safety of city residents, as reported by Need To Know.
