But things quickly turned into pandemonium when the boar touched down on the beach and came charging at full speed.
In the video, you can hear people shouting "laufen!", which loosely translates to "run!"
One man went to hit the boar with a spade, but the boar could not be stopped.

Now, this might seem like a very strange incident, but wild boars are known to be able swimmers.
Last year, a whole herd was found swimming several kilometers across the Malacca strait, all the way from Indonesia to Malaysia, and then went on to terrorise farmers upon arrival.

They are also widely known to be mischievous animals, with a naked man having to chase one down just last week and led to Danish authorities trying to keep them out by deciding to build a fence spanning the German border.
