Niigata, Feb 09 (NHK) - A ski resort in Niigata Prefecture, central Japan, is urging visitors to take precautions after two snowboarders were attacked by a wild boar. No one was injured.
The incident was reported on Tuesday morning at the Alpen Blick Snow Resort in Myoko City. Videos show a boar hitting one of the snowboarders from behind and then rushing to the other man, who uses his board to defend himself.
Resort officials and police say the animal was about 1-meter long. They say the boar fled when staff sounded a snowmobile siren.
Resort manager Hazawa Kazuhiko says he was surprised as a wild boar has never appeared on the slope before. He says the resort will increase patrols and take other precautions.
