Hunters Kill Four Wild Boars After Herd Runs Through Hatzenbühl

Authorities say they acted after a crash underscored the risk to pedestrians.

Overview

  • About ten wild boars ran aggressively through Luitpoldstraße and nearby streets in the village, prompting numerous emergency calls.
  • Police cordoned the area and first tried to drive the animals back into the adjacent forest as the herd split and some took shelter in private yards.
  • Local hunters, called in by police, shot four boars in two courtyards after non‑lethal efforts failed, while six others returned to the woods.
  • One animal caused a wildlife‑vehicle collision and several grazed parked cars, with no human injuries reported by authorities.
  • Police in Wörth are asking residents with damage to come forward, and media have published police photographs from the scene.
