ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Officials say a wild hog attacked a
woman in the back yard of her St. Petersburg home.
St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue reports that a 26-year-old woman
was told there was a pig in her back yard Monday afternoon. When
she went outside to investigate, the 200-pound animal charged her,
cutting the back of her left leg.
Rescuers were able to treat the woman for her injury at the
scene. An animal control officer lassoed the hog and transported it
to the Pinellas County Animal Control Office for rabies testing.
