Social media users in Tunisia circulated video footage capturing the moment a herd of wild boars descended upon a parked vehicle in the coastal town of Hammam Lif after nightfall.
According to reports accompanying the footage, the incident occurred after the driver accidentally struck a small piglet on a street, triggering an aggressive defensive reaction from the adult boars in the area.
Hearing the loud squealing of the injured animal, the herd rushed to its aid, sliding across the smooth tiled pavement as they made vocal grunting sounds around the vehicle.

While several nearby drivers sped away from the scene fearing potential attacks, other driver slowed down to observe the event unfold.
Video footage also showed a pedestrian leaning calmly against a streetlight pole, watching the animals surrounding the car.
The incident concluded without casualties, physical injuries, or vehicle damage.
The herd subsequently retreated into the night alongside the young piglet, which was seen walking with a slight limp on its injured leg.
Local eyewitnesses reported that Hammam Lif experiences recurring incursions by wild boars, which regularly descend from the slopes of Mount Boukornine into urban neighborhoods in search of food scraps.
