A rampaging wild boar sent three people to hospital after charging out of the woods and into a city centre.

Shocking footage shows the huge animal tearing down the middle of a road at full pelt.

In one terrifying moment, a man waking on a pedestrian crossing is sent flying as the beast slams into him at speed, sweeping his legs from under him.

Three people were injured in separate incidents and taken to hospital after being treated by paramedics.

Their conditions are not yet known.
